Unless a reloader is using a bullet swage shell holder (no primer hole) noting touches the primer one way or the other.

Then it needs to be understood the body die is not a body die only, it is a full length sizer die with a large diameter neck. The neck can cause donuts on the outside of the shoulder/neck junction.

I have body dies that are 45+ years old, the 8mm 06 for 30/06. 30/06 for 270, with a little tweaking the 280 Remington can be used for the 270 Winchester.
