[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2453542, member: 116181"] This is the question I can't get an answer to from Forster's literature. How much does their bump die size the body? They don't directly address this, so by omission they seem to be claiming that it doesn't, but even if say it were cut +0.003 as opposed to the -0.003 of their small base die, it would still size the body down to a point. It's my understanding that the Redding body die is an FL die with everything above the neck removed, so it does resize the body to a standard minimum dimension in addition to moving the shoulder back. Basically "Dimension A" from this chamber reamer is something that has to be specified in order the get a reamer to cut a die, so what is that dimension? In Redding dies, I think FL and body die it's the same spec. Forster bump die seems would be larger than their FL die, which is in turn larger than their small base die.
