I guess I only thought I was loading over max..... compared to you guys....
I have Lee Collet Dies for most all of my chambering and use them all the time. But, I have yet the need to bump the shoulder back on any of them....... just saying.....
With 2 exceptions; 270 WSM and 300 WSM. For those, I have to F-L resize those every time.
Like JB wrote, good tight chambers, rifle specific cases, you may not need to bump shoulders. And that may depend on application. With target guns, slightly harder chambering may be OK. When hunting, I want easy to chamber rounds, am more likely to bump shoulders on hunting ammo.
I've had guns that would go on and on with just neck sizing, others that need the shoulder bumped after 3-4 firings. And, some of those are custom barrels, carefully done chambers, too. And good brass seems to be a factor.
I would say, in general, if you're neck sizing you will probably need a body die, eventually.
