[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2917699, member: 122164"] Standard Forster neck sizers can bump shoulders only, and this is not their bushing dies either. Sizing the web only would be a "ring" die, too bad they are not being made at this time in graduated sets. I have cut the bottoms off of regular full-length sizers and small base sizers to use as ring dies, but there is usually some brass scraping involved from the body. Some Redding body sizers with the die cut off to not contact the shoulder work, lathe and carbide tipped part off tool needed. Some years ago, I chased the only bump back .002 on production guns, it was just easier to bump the shoulder back till the bolt closed easily on brass that needed full-length sizing, watch for case head separation lines in the brass, throw brass away as needed.
