[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 959637, member: 39764"] Additionally, it's easy to remove a couple thousands from the base of the die even manually by carefully grinding the base preferrably on a flat abrasive belt, or for a couple bucks, take the die body to any machine shop and have them chuck it a collet on a surface grinder and grind a couple thousands off. Whatever way you do it, be sure to clean the body carefully with brake cleaner and blow out with compressed air before using to get the swarf and grit out. I have a ultra precision surface grinder and I believe I've wacked off at least 0.001 on all my dies with the exception of my Whidden's because John Whidden has already done that to his. As an aside, you can also grind the engagement face of any shellholder a couple thousands, problem is, fixturing the shellholder and keeping it square and parallel. The only way I know to do that is on a surface grinder because the shellholder is case hardened and do it must be ground. A couple thousands won't compromise the hardened surface. Typical cased steel is hardened 0.015. [/QUOTE]
