Seems People Equaly Choose Neck Sizing Vs Full Sizing. Now This is for the 204 Ruger Cartridge Only

A die that will bump the shoulder and uses a bushing for the neck is the Redding FL bushing die. You can also have custom dies made that will do the same thing.

I have just recently purchased Redding full length bushing dies for one of my .204 Rugers and for one of my .17 Remingtons. Up till now I have been using Redding Type S bushing neck dies and when the shoulder needed bumping I used a Forster FL die for the .17 Remington and an RCBS FL die for the .204 Ruger.
