[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1579266, member: 10291"] Yes. It doesn’t take much of a turn of the dye....measure the amount you turn in the dye body with a marker at the base of the dye and turn in 1/8” increments, measuring your headspace after each increment. Do this with the press ram/shell-holder in the lowered position. It’s quite possible that you will feel the press “over-cam”, which means you will reach the end of the travel, then continue pressing the handle downward past the stop point and feel a “click” and the ram is at its fully extended position. This is normal as long as it’s not overdone. Make sure your cases are well lubed. Your dye setting may vary with different brands of brass. [/QUOTE]
