[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1046827, member: 1521"] WhiteOak, to begin, sizing requirements depend on your cartridge, chamber clearances, and load intent (pressure-wise). Can you fill in some blanks here? True FL sizing dies cover every type of sizing in one move(except when partial neck sizing). FL bushing dies are really body-bushing dies, and not FL dies at all. They allow body sizing, including shoulder bump with partial neck sizing. There are FL bushing dies that include the shoulder in the bushing, performing actual FL sizing. I see no advantage over a good FL die here. Bushing bump dies support the case bodies for shoulder bumping, and provide for partial neck sizing. This is typically the least amount of sizing. Most factory cartridge designs, combined with SAAMI chambers, will not allow minimal sizing for long. But as with anything else in reloading, there are always exceptions. [/QUOTE]
