[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 458557, member: 21375"] The pin needs to protrude through the flash hole to a sufficient depth that it pushes the spent primer out of the case. That adjustment is done from the top of the die. The two things you want adjusted with the expander assembly are the depth and you want it to be on center. Some dies are sloppy and need a bit of help to get properly aligned. Another trick you can use to minimize runout is to run a lubed case up into the die before you tighten the die ring. It provides good axial alignment of the ram to the die. I hope it goes without saying you have to lube your case before running it up into the die no matter what you are trying to adjust. I like Imperial Die Sizing Wax the best. [/QUOTE]
