[QUOTE="Mike027, post: 744176, member: 5816"] Bullet bumper thanks for the guidance. I followed your instructions and it worked well ( I think). The going over center felt more like it simply just bottomed out and locked the handle in place. After neck sizing the case neck dimensions were reduced by .003 I dont know if that IS good or not. I could not seem to get any less than that consistently The one area that I seems to have some trouble with was consistency on the die setting. I would run a few pieces of brass and then remove the die from the press and take the die apart to check and make sure all the parts were moving free. When I screwed the die back in I had to turn it back out a further distance than the previous setting to get the same results. Maybe that is because of the rubber o-ring. ??? I liked your method vs the instructions provided by Lee. I did try turning the die in 2 full turns like Lee suggests but the handle was pretty stiff. Im assuming that the idea there is to press down only so far on the handle and you are done. With practice I imagine someone could get very good at gauging how much pressure to push done on the handle. Later this week I will finish loading some rounds and hopefully there will be less runout. Thanks. Mike [/QUOTE]
