BUSHING SIZE
Measure the outside diameter of your loaded cartridge. Subtract .002" to
.003" from the neck diameter to determine bushing size. This allows for
brass spring back and a bullet press fit of .001" to .002"
.
FULL LENGTH DIE ADJUSTMENT
1. Insert the bushing (large end down) into the die body.
2. Raise the ram of the press to its highest position.
3. Thread the die into the press until the end of the die touches the shell
holder head.
4. Tighten the Lock Ring against the press and tighten the screw with the hex
wrench.
5. Adjust the expander decap assembly to the proper height.
Note: Firearm action types and chamber dimensions may vary, causing excess head-
space. To el
iminate the excess head-space, adjust the die upward.
DECAPPING ADJUSTMENT
The decapping spindle assembly should be adjusted to remove spent
primers, yet not contact the web of the cartridge case. If adjusted too low,
damage can occur to the decapping assembly/ Slight tension of the Lock Nut
and O-Ring will allow the decapping assembly while preventing accidental
movement. Adjust the height until the decapping pin is 1/8" to 3/16" below
the end of the die.
NECK-SIZE DIE ADJUSTMENT
1. Insert the bushing, large end down, into the die body.
2. Raise the ram of the press to its highest position.
3. For maximum setback, thread the die into the press until the end of the die
touches the shell holder head.
4. To ad
just to your chamber, back the die out accordingly.
5. Tighten the Lock Ring against the press and tighten the screw with the hex
wrench.
6. Adjust the expander decap assembly to the proper height.

DIE SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Before using your new die, disassemble and carefully clean
the inside surfaces. A rust preventative has been applied at
the factory to protect the die during shipping and must be
removed before reloading. We recommend Hornady ONE
SHOT Gun Cleaner and Dry Lube.
Inspect all cartridge cases and discard those with cracks,
splits and other visible defects. Wipe cases clean with a soft
cloth to remove grit and other foreign material which may
scratch the die. Before sizing, lubricate the cases with one
of the case lubes available from Hornady (ONE SHOT Case
Lube or UNIQUE, a hard paste). No matter the method of
lubrication, all necked cases in a full length die require
some lubrication. A small amount of lubrication on the case
neck while using a neck size die will minimize stretching.
Little or no lubrication on necked cases in a full length die
will result in a stuck case. Over-lubrication will cause dents
in the shoulder, damaging the appearance. (If you do get a
case stuck in a die, Hornady will remove
the case without
damaging the die and return it to you. Please enclose $4.00
for postage and handling.)
