Question about Hornady dies for .308

I have a set of Hornady Custom Grade dies, and in regards to the F/L die, does it bump the shoulder back? I have used up my google-fu trying to find the answer. The reason I ask is because some of the Hornady dies specifically say they bump the shoulder back while the literature on this particular die is mute on the subject. Thanks in advance.

All standard F/L dies bump the shoulder. All standard Neck only dies don't touch the body or shoulder. If you have a standard F/L set, it will bump the shoulder.

Thanks. I thought this was the case, but wanted to double check.

Ive got both sets of custom 308 dies, FL & NS only, as far as I know they bump the shoulder back.
