Noob here, with noob question: I've read I should set my shoulder bump to -.002" from fire brass length. Well, on checking my die setup, I'm at -.0015"...should I bother chasing that last-.0005"?

Nope. This is worth buying though if you are going to stay with belted magnums.
Innovative Technologies - Reloading Equipment
Our patented resizing die can reload Winchester, Remington and Weatherby belted magnums up to 20 times, instead of just 2 or 3 times and the top of the die is a chamber width gauge.

Thor69 , I’m curious how many times you’ll be able to resize the case before the belt starts giving you issues & are forced to get the Larry Willis die
I'll let you know when/if that happens.
I have a few with loose pockets that are in my "Give to Butch to melt and make artsy_fartsy stuff with" bucket, but none that have swelled at the belt.

I don't know that I will keep it a Magnum. Thinking about rebarelling for 300 PRC.
The Hornady podcast raised some excellent points between the WM and PRC just recently. Even though it's a bit of hype, it's still a good watch. A 300 WM that's been worked over by a good smith with the right reamer is a capable rifle.
Having a bunch of brass on hand that is usable is a huge asset. I paid $600 for 300 pieces of 300 PRC brass from Lapua. My 30" Bartlien barrel was only slightly more expensive. I prefer to not have a belted cartridge, but if you can make it work and you're happy with it?
