You left out the Forster Bushing Bump die. But for hunting, if you think you will ever need a rapid follow-up shot, full-length resize. Keep in mind that new cases are usually about -0.002" shorter than SAAMI minimum chamber length in this and many other medium power rimless bottleneck rifle cases. It's adequate for smooth feeding. For that reason, you can use full-length resizing that just goes far enough to get that -0.002" length from head to shoulder and you should have no feeding issues. This will minimize stretching and trimming and overworking and you should get good case life.
