Rather than fiddling around adjusting dies for shoulder bumping/partial resizing or buying expensive specialty dies, just get a set of Skip’s spacers. Set up your sizing die for FL sizing then experiment with the spacers underneath the die’s lock ring. Start with a spacer thickness that won’t allow your bolt to close then gradually go down to a thickness that allows the bolt to close with a barely noticeable resistance. You can use the spacers singularity or in combination to achieve the desired thickness. This way, your never have to re-adjust your die for FL sizing when necessary and you’ve probably saved yourself a bundle of dough.
Works for me.😊
Sounds like a whole lot of fiddling around to avoid 5 minutes of setting up the die correctly to start with. I don't know why some guys have trouble with this concept: correct shoulder bump of a few thousandths IS full length sizing.
