[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1032764, member: 12193"] You're saying it's screwed down as far as it will go but there's no cam over? Screw it down further. If the rifle has a tight chamber, which many precision rifles do, you may need to cam over pretty hard to get the brass all the way into the die. I'll bet there's a good .010" or more of flex in the press which is why you need to cam over. Lower the ram, advance the die 1/8 turn or so, raise the ram. You should have some cam over at this point. Just keep in mind that 1/8 turn will mean you're pushing the brass another .008" into the die. That large of an increment may be too much for shoulder bumping fire formed brass but for forming cases I don't think you need to be very precise. [/QUOTE]
