[QUOTE="Brent, post: 54786, member: 99"] Sako, Think about this a little more before you send it back. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I believe they all take a certain amount of attention to detail and aren't fool proof, and yes you can whack a neck up on the inside witht he reamer if you don't go slow and keep it straight. There is a step or stop on the mandrel for the case mouth to contact, to set the depth of cut into the shoulder. This is what the Pilot Jack accessory he makes helps you do a lot easier than loosening the screw and adjusting the stop by hand, this should be in the instructions... I know one guy who like to leave a case loose on the mandrel and ream the donut at the shoulder junction at an angle so it takes more off. I have a link to how he does it if you like to read it. You should have two screws for the expandiron die mandrels, shot and long. I use a Dillon 550 press, and have the die body screwed in 3-4 threads is all, so it stays HIGH for the reason you explained. Ken needs to make a die that it taller, his is short for probably the PPC and it doesn't work well for the longer cases, the STW is probably worse than the 338 Lapua. Ken may make a longer die body, be worth a call because the expander works great. I just get by with the short bodied one I have. I run mine into the shoulder .002 or so, enough I start to get a slight ridge fron the cutter at the end, stop and set it there, the shoulder is thicker so you don;t have to worry. Section a case, debur and measure it there if you want a better idea like I did. Let the turner body float on neck, or chuch the turner in a drill by the mandrel and clamp the drill in a vice carefully like I been doing and run the case on it letting it float on the mandrel. You may be set on offing it already, but good luck with it if you decide to figure it out. To my knowledge, they all work the same... [/QUOTE]
