++++1 for annealing too.

The Redding body die does a great job. However, you shouldn't need to use one if you have a FL die as that will have the exact same ability to bump the shoulder back as the Redding body die which will also resize your case (less the neck section). In other words a body die is a FL die without the neck section.
