[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1225773, member: 2736"] The press is fine, it's the dies that may give you problems because they are not adjustable enough for every chamber. On Semi autos, you need to size to small base dimensions and the RCBS dies wont do it unless you can find a set of small base dies. The best dies for different chambers are the ones that have a wide range of adjustment (Like the Hornady New dimension dies) so you can adjust to any chamber for best fit. If you already have the RCBS dies, and they are not sizing enough, place a feeler gauge under the case head and on top of the shell holder with a .002 thickness and size a case. if it is not sized enough increase the thickness until it chambers. then you can stick a shim of the same thickness in its place and size the rest of the cases. (some grind the bottom of the die but I prefer not to permanently alter the die). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
