MildBill said:can the Redding Type S Neck Bushing die be set up to bump the shoulder back like the forster bushing bump die?
What are the pros and cons of one vs the other?
Thanks
SmokinJoe said:Most of the time a Redding FL Type S bushing die works well as a bump die, too. You do have to have an accurate enough setup to make precise bumpback possible. I use Skip Otto die shims in a good tight press. It is important to have consistent lubrication on the cases if you want consistent results. I use Hornady One Shot spray because it is brain-dead simple to get a consistent coating, and not too much either. Sometimes it is necessary to re-anneal in order to get consistent bumpback, also. Hope this helps get you headed in the right direction. BTW, a neck die does not make an acceptable bump die, IMO.

bozo699 said:Mildbill ask if a redding s n/k die would bump the shoulder like the forster bushing n/k die with shoulder bump, forster does make a die like that, so to answer your original question Bill NO the redding n/k die will not bump the shoulder, however the f/l bushing redding die will.

I have used Redding "S" bushing neck dies for many years, and now have over a dozen of them.
NONE of them will touch the shoulder when seated to hit the shell holder... so I don't know how you expect to "bump" the shoulder back if the die does not touch the case??

The Redding only sizes the neck. The Forster sizes the neck & bumps the shoulder back. Bumping a shoulder back, without supporting the case body, may produce ammo that will not chamber.MildBill said:can the Redding Type S Neck Bushing die be set up to bump the shoulder back like the forster bushing bump die?

I sized the first case and afterwards it measured 3.197" a difference of .004" less than the unsized case.
So my question is if it did not move the shoulder back, then what moved to make the case shorter.
