Thread: 280AI Neck and Shoulder bump die v FL sizing die

I already have a neck sizing only die and was thinking of getting a shoulder bump die to deal with the shoulder when the need arises.

My question is am I going to need a FL die at some point regardless of having a bump die.

Specifically will the brass diameter around the shoulder become an issue at some point if the bump die is just pushing the shoulder back?

Keep in mind that there is a variance between the 280 Ackley Improved and the '280AI' Nosler SAAMI.

I'd also look at a 30-06 body die just in case.
