[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1826578, member: 29632"] I dont want to insult anybody's intelligence but I think the average human might just read the instructions, setup accordingly and never really think through what all is happening in the process. I know that's what I did when I got started. But I think it's important to really think through and understand what is going on with every aspect. For example, if the shell holder is contacting the base of a sizing die, then the distance from the base of the case to the die shoulder is a fixed distance, the only way to change that distance would be to change a component in the setup, (different die, different shell holder, add shim under the case head) or to back out the die. Really understanding what is happening inside the die and how all the components effect the end result really helps to make decisions on what to adjust in order to achieve your desired result. And if somebody offers advice and you cant wrap your head around what that would accomplish dont hesitate to ask WHY before just trying it...saves lots of components [/QUOTE]
