[QUOTE="Broz, post: 897656, member: 7503"] Yes it is ok. But you will need to use a consistent stroke to keep seating depth consistent. The reason I like a light cam over against the shell holder is to insure the same depth each time. But this only works with dies set up to do this like Redding comp dies and some others. You might get by with a set of redding stepped shell holders to drop the case .010" and still let you set up to touch the shell holder. But I am not sure about that. The other thing is to make sure your brass is trimmed to spec or close. If it has grown long you might trim it and be able to lower the die again. You will have to test and see. Best way to set that die up is to put a sized case in the shell holder and extend the ram to top. Then screw the die in until you feel it contact the case. Then back it out a little and lock it down. If the die bottoms out on the case it will push the neck in and swell the brass causing it to not chamber in the rifle. That was the problem. Glad you got her figured out. :) Jeff [/QUOTE]
