I have the tools and knowledge to adjust the die. Right now the issue is the die is as far down as it can be. If it indeed needs to be lower, I will toss it in the lathe and shorten it up. I guess my question at this point is, should that line be touching the top of the taper on the case? I am assuming that it should be. I am also assuming that after I get to that point I need to measure my rifle, and adjust BEYOND that for proper headspacing. Can someone confirm that for me?

Thanks
