Station 4 - Installation and
Adjustment of the Seating Die
1. Place a
lubricated sized case into Station 4 and raise the platform.
2. Thread the seating die into Station 4. Continue to screw it down
until it contacts the case Figure 116. Once the die is in contact with
the case back the die off (counter-clockwise) 1/4 of a turn. Using a 1 1/8" wrench
snug the lockring on the seating die.
3. Lower the platform.
4. Figure 117 Back the seating stem all the way
out of the seating die. Now screw the seating stem back into the seating die two full
turns Figure 118.
5. Place a bullet on the case mouth and raise the platform, then lower
the platform just enough to inspect the bullet without indexing the shellplate.
a. If the bullet is not pushed down far enough - go to step
6.
b. If the bullet is pushed down too far:
b.1. Pull the bullet from the case using a
Dillon bullet puller.
b.2. Back the seating stem out by turning it
counter clockwise and try again.
6. Screw the seating stem down 1/2 turn at a time Figure
118.
7. Repeat as necessary until the correct overall length is achieved. Use
a dial caliper or equivalent to measure the overall length of the cartridge Figure
119. Check the overall length of the round against the information in your reloading
manual.
8. Once you have obtained the proper OAL, replace the cartridge
into Station 4, raise the platform and snug the lockring on the seating stem Figure 120.
