[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1163940, member: 12"] Any FL die is going to size the body with or without the decapping stem, even you do what is called partial FL sizing. No way to get around it and guys would know that if they ever used a quality blade mike to measure the case before and after. Forester makes a bump die that ONLY bumps the shoulder but other than customs that is the only one out there. However, I think it also NS. there is a school of thought and practice by some very top 1000 yard shooters that use a body die or no bushing to size the body and then run an expanding mandrel in the neck to take it out a little and then use a NS ONLY die to bring the neck back in. They claim with great success that it provides more uniform neck tension. Also consider annealing to get uniform neck tension. [/QUOTE]
