Greetings @Magnetite,
Definitely an option which I use for my 6.5 x 55. For multiple rifles like my .308's it becomes tiresome. Even 1/16th of a turn of the die is over 0.1mm or .004 inches. I guess I could measure the distance from the bottom of the die to the lock ring, which I think is what you are talking about, but this still leaves some variability in the press linkages and I do like the die making solid contact with the shell holder. In my younger cash strapped days I would have gone with setting the die up, as I have with the 6.5, but now I am inclined to the simpler but more expensive solution. Thanks for your reply.
Regards Grandpamac.
