[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2827383, member: 93138"] Suggestions on the technique for polishing down the top of a shell holder should it come to that (I would definitely do the holder and not the die): Put the abrasive sheet on a piece of glass, the thicker the better. Glass, unless it a really old window (say 1930's or older), is remarkably flat. It is not as good as a true surface plate, but it comes darned close. A thin smear of grease will usually keep it from moving on the glass. Move the shell holder (or whatever) in a figure 8. Periodically rotate it under your finger. You're much less likely to make it lop-sided than if you just go back and forth or in a circle. The tool and die machinist that taught me this process called it "Scooting"; for what that's worth.....
