[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1139684, member: 39764"] Not all dies are created equal. Dies like stock RCBS dies are designed and built with a long base that 'cams over' as it contacts the shell holder, that is, unable to achieve a bump condition. The answer is to grind off a couple thousands from the base using a surface grinder. Then the die will bump, but not until the base is shortened. You can, in lieu of grinding the die base, use shell holders that aren't standard height (Sinclair sells them) that do the same thing. Myself, I prefer grinding the base but then I own a surface grinder. [/QUOTE]
