[QUOTE="woods, post: 403883, member: 6042"] How are you measuring the .304"? IOW, with a caliper, micrometer or pin gauges? Theoretically there should be no reason to mark the Lee Collet Die. It should not matter whether the lock nut is at the top of the threads or it is at the bottom of it's adjustment range just before cam-over. If you are using the Lee Collet correctly what makes the die work is the approx. 25 pounds weight you put on the press handle. If you are camming the press over you are using the Lee Collet wrong. I adjust the lock nut up to the top of the threads [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0038.jpg[/IMG] this puts the press handle at it's most horizontal [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0401.jpg[/IMG] and makes it easiest to gauge the amount of downward weight on the press handle. Is this the way you have your die adjusted? [/QUOTE]
