RCBS X Die Product - Manual (Page 5)

• Adjust the mandrel so
the decapping pin extends
1/8” below
the die (see Photo 1).
• Screw the X-Sizer die
into the press until the die
touches the shell holder
when the shell holder is
brought up to the top of the
press stroke. To remove
any play in the press link-
age system, lower the shell
holder and adjust the die
1/8 to 1/4 of a turn down-
ward so the press cams
over center. Lower the press
handle all the way and note the “feel” of the cam over in the link-
age. With the handle all the way down, tighten the large die lock
ring.
• Insert a lubed case into the shell holder and run it into the die.
• Screw the mandrel into the die until hard resistance is felt.
• Back the mandrel out 1 to 2 turns and tighten the lock nut on
the mandrel.
• With this setting, lube and resize all the cases you plan to use
in the X-Sizer die. After sizing, remove the lube and trim the cases
as directed above.
X DIE SET UP
STEP 1: Back the
mandrel out of the die until the decapping pin extends below the

See photo 1.
STEP 2: Screw the X-Sizer die into the press until the die touch-
es the shell holder when the shell holder is brought up to the top
of the press stroke. To remove any play in the press linkage sys-
tem, lower the shell holder and adjust the die 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn
downward so the press cams over center. Make every effort possible
to duplicate the same amount of cam force each time the die is used.
