I have used neither, and my brass is due to have the shoulder bumped back after repeated NS with a bushing die.
I like the "do both operations at one time" approach of the bushing shoulder die, and the fact that it doesnt touch the case body's diameter. But can it be used as a replacement for the body die, or will the body eventually get too tight, and have to be FL sized anyhow?
On the flipside, the body die will require NS and using the body die to size (processing about 500 at a time), and will continually squeeze the case body down again. I don't know if I want/need that.
After all that rambling, I guess I'm asking:
For those of you who use shoulder bump dies, do you ever have to FL size? Thanks!-
