Screw the seating die into
Station 7 with the appropriate seating stem installed. Each die set will include seating
stems to fit the most common bullet types. Use the nose of the bullet to see which seating
stem fits best.
Refer to a reloading manual for proper bullet seating depth or over all length
(OAL).
With the handle in the down position, screw the seating die down until it makes
contact with the shellplate. Then turn the die counterclockwise four full turns. |

Raise the handle and place one
of the cases charged with powder into Station 7. Place a bullet on the mouth of the case
and cycle the operating handle.
Inspect the bullet for seating depth (OAL) with a dial caliper or case gage. To
make the OAL longer, turn the seating die counterclockwise in small increments. To make
the OAL shorter, turn the seating die clockwise in small increments.
When the OAL is correct, tighten the die lock ring with the operating handle in the
down position. |
