I shoot a few rifles in the same calibers and use a lee turret press (a little sloppy but love having quick change turrets). I got tired of adjusting bump every time I loaded for a different rifle and found .378 Comp shell holder's and can now can full length size with the perfect shoulder bump by using the correct shell holder and full contact with the base of the die. I just list the shell holder in the load data for that rifle and I always have the correct bump with no adjusting. I have one 222 Rem that takes a full .010+ length for perfect headspace and one as small as .002+.

I have since started to use these on most of the ammo I load with common head size and have sets in .378, .440, .473 and .532.
 
I've used these for a hundred years, set your FL die with a mid range shim, add/subtract when needed.

No more fiddling with you lock ring. I have 2 sets to cover every possible need.

 
Between SAAMI ammo checkers and using the spent primer method to verify headspace clearance, I haven't found it difficult to dial in a full length sizing die. I have 5 223 rifles(gas and bolt guns) and a 20p. 6 different chambers all running on brass from FL sizing die locked. Zero case head separation issues and I shoot prairie dogs with all the rifles. I do anneal brass.
