[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 462786, member: 8833"] Let me add one more thing for consideration - Be sure of your shell holder - double check that it is the correct one and there is nothing lodged under it where it slides onto your rockchucker press. Assuming that it is the correct one and nothing forcing it up higher - then measure the thickness of said shell holder. I would then compare that thickness to a couple new ones at a sporting goods store after asking them permission - or do you have a buddy you could borrow a shell holder from and see how it compares to yours to try. With all the quality control junk that we are shipping in from China a couple thousands over thickness wouldn't surprise me in the least on a shell holder. With that said - before I would turn down the bottom side of an expensive die I would turn down my much less expensive shell holder. Any machine shop/gunsmith with a lathe should be able to do this in a matter of minutes - it's all set up time. You may get another .001-.002 by just polishing the top side of your shell holder also. I wish you good luck - isn't this a great relaxing hobby/sport. PS: What kind of dies do you have?? [/QUOTE]
