[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 730190, member: 25383"] Kinda depends on the style of press you use as to how you square the dies, but in the end it all comes out the same. With a Forster you simply loosen the lock ring, and put the die under good pressure. I use a square block of steel that I know is extremely square, but have done this with a case in the die as well. I prefer the block method. With a conventional press your pretty much locked into running a case thru the die under pressure and then tighten the jam nut. Problem with that is in making adjustments (actually both methods). Quite honestly I don't have a favorite way to do this as none have completely satisfied me. Just too many variables, and no way to take most of them out. Then to add insult to injury, you get your die so square that it ought to be gold plated, and you get a tight case. Back to square one again It's Tuesday, and I'm long over due for a rant! gary [/QUOTE]
