With the ram all the way up and a shellholder installed, screw the die into the turret until it contacts the shellholder. Lower the ram, thread the die in another 1/4 turn, run the ram up to apply some pressure to the bottom of the die, lock the ring down. The upward pressure from the shellholder will push the die into the center of the 60* thread faces, and the lock ring will also pull it to center. It's how we do it, and have seen others suggest similar setup.Just got delivered and they are huge. I took some pictures to show the difference.
@flyer1a what’s the best way to center a die using these?
Of note, we always set up dies this way and then get the headspace we want using Redding Competition Shellholders. Perfect, no-fuss setup every time.
(I'm shooting a video on this Wednesday, most of my good spots to shoot video have been dominated by other projects with the press production and move, but the new shop is to the point I can set up a bench and some lights - getting closer to the move happening!)
