===Special Dies=== There are also specialty dies. Bump dies are designed to move the shoulder of a bottleneck case back just a bit to facilitate chambering. These are frequently used in conjunction with neck dies, as the bump die itself does not manipulate the neck of the case whatsoever. A bump die can be a very useful tool to anyone who owns a fine shooting rifle with a chamber that is cut to minimum headspace dimensions, as the die allows the case to be fitted to this unique chamber.<ref name=bumpdie>{{cite web|url=http://www.forsterproducts.com/Pages/precision_dies.htm |title=Precision Plus Bushing Bump Sizing Die |access-date=2007-09-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070902000618/http://www.forsterproducts.com/Pages/precision_dies.htm |archive-date=2007-09-02 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Another die is the "hand die". A hand die has no threads and is operated—as the name suggests—by hand or by use of a hand-operated arbor press. Hand dies are available for most popular cartridges, and although available as full-length resizing dies, they are most commonly seen as neck sizing dies. These use an interchangeable insert to size the neck, and these inserts come in 1/1000-inch steps so that the user can custom fit the neck of the case to his own chamber or have greater control over neck tension on the bullet.<ref name=handdie>{{cite web |url=http://www.kinneman.com/browseproducts/KCP-Hand-Die-Reloading-Kit.HTML |title=KCP Hand Die Reloading Kit |access-date=2007-09-14}}</ref>
