Hornady New Dimension Custom Grade Dies - Manual (Page 3)

ADJUSTING THE SIZE DIE
To adjust the expander/decap assembly:
1. Loosen the spindle lock.
2. Adjust the spindle so approximately 3/16"
of the decap pin is below the end of the die
(SEE PHOTO.)
(NOTE: The new Zip Spindle is lightly threaded to
provide a positive no-slip lock. In its free state, the Zip Spindle can
be pulled up and down to make quick adjustments, or can be
threaded for more precise adjustments.)
3. Make sure the threads on the spindle and collet are engaged
and tighten the spindle lock until the spindle no longer rotates.
4. Verify that the decap pin is only extended 3/16" below die.
(Note: The new Hornady Zip Spindle comes with an easily replaceable
headed decap pin. If during use or adjustment, the pin breaks, an
extra decap pin has been provided. Remove the spindle assembly, un-
thread the expander/retainer, remove the decap pin head, and replace
with the new decap pin.)
To adjust the full-length size die, follow these steps:
1. Raise the press ram to highest position without camming over.
2. Thread the full-length die into the press until the base touches
the shell holder head.
3. Tighten the lock ring against the press and tighten the set
screw with the allen wrench.
(Note: Firearm action types and chamber dimensions vary causing
excess headspace. To eliminate the headspace, adjust the full-length
die upward.)
