[QUOTE="RoadKill, post: 1214418, member: 29136"] [FONT=Cambria]I do mine ~ same as bigedp51 and AZShooter except that once I stop the expander ball ‘bout half way through the neck, I then reverse the ram to put a tad of upwards pressure on the de-cap/expander stem to top it out in the play in the threads and also to shove it in the same direction that snugging up the jam nut is going to pull the stem. Doing so will naturally center the taper of the stem’s external threads within the matching taper of the die’s internal threads; pretty much like the self centering action what happens when tightening the 82° taper on the underside of the head of a flat head screw against a matching 82° countersunk seat.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
