RCBS Competition Dies - Manual (Page 9)

FULL LENGTH RESIZING
Screw the Competition Sizer Die into the reloading press until the sizer die
touches the standard shell holder with the ram at the top of the stroke. Lower
the ram and set the die 1/8 to 1/4 turn further down so the press cams over
center. Set the large lock ring and tighten the setscrew with a setscrew wrench.
The end of the decapping pin holder must be at least 3/16" above the bottom of
the die. The decapping pin should protrude below the bottom of the die just
enough to knock out the spent primer. The expander-decapping assembly is
adjusted by loosening the small lock ring at the top of the die and turning the
unit to the desired setting.
BULLET SEATING
The thimble of the Competition Seater Die is adjustable in .001" increments.
To set up the seater die, turn the thimble counter-clockwise to near its maximum
adjustment. Insert the die into the press screwing it down to almost touch the
standard or, where required, extended shell holder. Position the window of the
die to the front and set the lock ring. Insert a primed and powder charged case
into the shell holder and raise the ram until the case neck engages the bullet
Adjust the sizer die in the press to properly size the case.
