Shoulder bump

It depends on the chamber they were fired in.
If the rifle had a fat chamber, a regular die may not resize the base enough to fit in your rifle.
But in 6 Dasher, the other rifle was probably pretty tight, so I doubt you need to concern yourself with that.
As long as you can chamber the sized cases, you are good to go.
After you fire them in your rifle, then you'll want to set the headspace closer.

If it were mine, I would "jam" the bullets into the rifling for the first firing - to give the shoulder every opportunity to move forward completely. Just my opinion.
Jam them puppies is a good idea. Tommy Mc
