sizing/decapping die completely into the toolhead until the die comes in contact with the
shellplate. Return the handle to its rest position (up).
Wipe a small amount of case lube on the body and neck of an empty .30-06

Move the
handle down to resize and deprime the case. Return the handle to its rest position.
Examine the case you just resized and deprimed. If a case gage is available, insert the
case into the gage to (Figure 14) assure yourself that the case has been resized properly.
(The bottom of the case should be flush with the bottom of the gage.)

Rotate the sizing/decapping die in or out as needed to reach the
proper case-to-gage fit. After the die is adjusted, tighten the die lock ring to hold it
in place. Advance the case to Station #2.
