[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 469871, member: 25383"] you may need to flip the jaws or reverse them. Setting the jaws up is the hardest part of the learning curve. If you look under the press you'll see a long screw with a 1/4-28 thread on it. It has a point on one end. That sets the actual closing and gripping of the jaws (I run mine very loose, and just enough to pull the case out of the die). Install the new case you might need to sorts slide the case sidways to snap it in place. Stoning the jaws top and bottom helps here, and I have seen guys that put .002" or .003" shims under the two bars that hold the jaws in place. Forster also sells a clamping affair that allows you to use regular shell holders. What For? Remember the sliding jaws are not for holding the case during sizing, but for removal of the sized case. My 270 mag works well with the sides for a 30-06. After a few days you'll soon figure it out gary [/QUOTE]
