[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 1859553, member: 111593"] Kdr, Die manufacturers have to protect themselves. They (many) have to assume the person buying their dies is a beginner. If you adjust the die all the way down to the ram or cause cam over you are sizing your brass very heavily. Probably toward minimum Saami specs for the cartridge. Some manufacturers ( if you read closely) suggest a different procedure for producing the most accurate cartridges. These instructions are directed towards more experienced/ accomplished handloaders, i.e. like competitive shooters/longdistance shooters. For these shooters (like L Sherm was alluding to), you have to carefully measure everything to determine when you get to exactly what you want. When an accomplished handloader finishes, he knows exactly how much he has sized his case, what his neck tension is and how much he has set the cartrige shoulder back. This is all accomplished by precisely setting up your die to a specific cartridge. Each die/cartridge is likely different. You Can just screw in each of your dies to the ram and go. The shells Will likely load and fire. Will you have gotten the best out of the cartridge and your rifle? Most assuredly not. [/QUOTE]
