    Can't bump the shoulder with Redding FL bushing die on a Dillon?

    FYI in case someone has the same problem. Decided to give the Redding full length Type S bushing die a try for .300wm. I am using a Dillon 650 and the die bottomed out before touching the neck. 5 minutes on a lathe and .004 off the bottom of the die and the problem was solved.
