Sizing Dies - Bushing or Non-Bushing?

[Stumpkiller]

If I'm using a full length die with a bushing, can I adjust this die in the press to get my desired shoulder bump just like I would with a non-bushing full length sizer? Does this adjustment have any effect on the neck sizing action of the bushing?

Check out the Redding Competition shell holder sets. You get five shell-holders that are incrementally 0.002" deeper than the normal 0.125" offset. Using full-length dies you can then select the depth that either slightly bumps the shoulder or just short of touching the shoulder. You can do the same by backing out the die - but these allow you to "bottom-out" the ram and so it's easier to set-up each time.

I had my LE Wilson seating die custom cut to my chamber.. I dont even check for bullet run out anymore because after hundred or so times of not even seeing needle move when checking I just developed complete confidence. LE Wilson will also custom cut resize fl or fl/bushing and their prices are better than alot of the high end competition and every bit as good if not better imo. You use a arbor press for seating but a rubber mallet also works just finehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191231/d7b19515b28cee86b0ee4eed0705d504.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191231/ab9377337878a3db9e052836e6baf199.jpg

Long time I've been curious on arbor press dies - how do you get the case back out?

are there any compelling reasons not to go with a bushing die? if the fired brass neck needs sized down more then .008" . May cause runout? https://www.redding-reloading.com/tech-line-a-tips-faqs/142-concentricity-a-bushing-dies
