[QUOTE="LB, post: 56442, member: 2721"] Yeah, all true. Another thing, described in RCBS instructions that come with every set of FL dies is to screw the die in until it touches the shell plate, at the top of the stroke. Then lower the ram and screw the die in another third of a revolution, forget exactly how much? But leaving the lock ring loose, cam the ram back up until the shell plate toggles over against the base of the die. Then tighten the lock nut. This helps alignment between the shell plate and the die body. Kind of "loads" the press, same as it does during sizing. Sounds more complicated than it is. In any case, you should be able to feel the bump on the shoulder; best described as a little resistance felt on the handle as the ram toggles over. My guess(?) is that you have a procedural error, and probably don't need any die modifications. Good hunting. LB [/QUOTE]
