[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1898821, member: 105459"] A Redding( caliber specific ) Body die used in conjunction with the Redding Competition Shell Holders Set ( again caliber specific ) Collets are stepped in -.002" increments so once you find the right amount of shoulder bump after sizing simply chamber your fire formed case until your bolt closes smoothly. You are where you need to be shoulder bump wise for this one particular rifle and cartridge. The beauty of using the Redding body die/shell holder combination is once you have established the correct shoulder bump through trail and error you will never need to make another FL resizing die adjustment for this particular firearm again just use the numbered shell holder and body die. The rub is You never mentioned what caliber you are contemplating loading for. Last: Hopefully Redding makes a body die in this caliber Without knowing your caliber I would assume this would not work using just the stepped shell holder set and a regular FL resizing die, as the Redding Body Die is designed to place tension on your brass shell cases shoulder area only. [I] OBTW REDDING CAN AND WILL MAKE A CUSTOM BODY DIE FOR YOU . NEGATIVELY THE PRICE MAY SHOCK YOU SO SIT DOWN BEFORE ASKING ! Food For Thought[/I] [/QUOTE]
