RCBS Gold Medal Dies - Manual (Page 8)

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.
Remove the Neck
Bushing retainer and
insert your selected
diameter Neck
Bushing. Neck
Bushings must be
installed so that you
can read what is
stamped on its side,
do not install upside
down (see photo 1,
right). The Decap
Rod assembly comes
with an Expander
Ball/Decap Pin
Holder installed to
allow for the proper preparation of a new lot of brass. The
Decap Pin holder found in the accessory bag must replace
the Expander Ball for proper use with the Neck Bushings
(see photo 2 right). Reinstall your Neck Bushing Retainer.
Do not tighten the Neck Bushing retainer down on the
Neck Bushing, back it off slightly to allow the Neck
Bushing to 'float' and center itself around the case neck.
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 Decap Rod is adjusted by
loosening the small lock ring at the top of the die and turn-
ing the unit to the desired setting. Use a hand decapper
or HD Decap Die to remove primers from military cases
with crimped-in military primers.
