[QUOTE="älg, post: 147105, member: 2995"] No it is not hard enough.-it relies on a spring that is on top of the die, and the idea ( as far as I know-I just started using these dies)is that the case is driven inside the sliding piece in order to be centered when the bullet is sat- . However you got me thinking and after writing the paragraph on top I´ve run to the press and set the redding die.- If the die is screwed down enough, you can sit the bullets without needing the press ram to reach it´s limit in the press ( I mean you do not need to pull the handle to the maximum)...The sliding piece stops when the shellholder touches the die. But you still need the shellholder to touch the die; you are just avoiding the so called "cam" movement of the press when the handle is at full stroke. Maybe you could change the spring but you would get very inconsistent results when sitting bullets unless you were able to apply exactly the same force evry time. [/QUOTE]
