[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1135470, member: 5302"] [b]Re: Adjusting Dies in the Press[/b] A word of caution regarding turning a die to change its position......... Oft times, it's said to turn the die 1/4th turn then resize another case. Grade school math tells everyone able to do it that 1/4th of a turn on a 7/8-14 die moves it up or down about .018" 1/14th inch is about .072" (1 divided by 14) and ,072" divided by 4 equals .018" We're working in thousandths of an inch, not fifty-fifths of an inch which one fourth of a turn moves the die. A .002" change in die position requires 1/36th of a turn of the die. Here's an aid to help you adjust your die position in increments suitable for reloading precision: [url]http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab170/jepp2/DieAdjustment-1.jpg[/url] Make then use them correctly and they'll look like this one marked in .002" increments: [IMG]http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww351/BartBob/DieAdjustmentLabelonDie.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
