7-08 AI questions

[Highbrass]

I'm treading unfamiliar Waters here and looking for some insights from those that would share some experience.
I have a newly built 7-08 AI 40°.
Now I have 20 pcs of fireformed brass to start with and a set of Redding dies. In the past with other calibers I usually screw the sizing die down until I get
.001~.002 shoulder setback.
I am not familiar with Redding dies so this is where I need the help.
I have read some conflicting info on this. From the AI shoulder angle does not need bumping to Redding FL dies do not bump shoulders?
I was under the impression that The FL die CAN be screwed down to bump the shoulder?
The die set came with a neck die also, which I assume only sizes the neck?
Am I just over thinking this?
Does The FL die bump shoulders?
Is it really necessary?

Thanks

Thanks

It should.........if it doesnt take material off top of shell holder or from bottom of die
It will be necessary .......at some point , to not have hard bolt closer

You're welcome

A full length die is supposed to size the entire case, body neck and shoulder.

A neck die only touches the neck.

A body die only does the body and shoulders and does not touch the neck.
