RCBS dies plus a question

Jump boot · February 11, 2007, 11:24 AM

I have a set of RCBS carbide dies for the 44 mag and 44 special.I don't have the owner's manual for the die set.Question,what is the big spacer used for when setting up the die ?It measures .126 " thick.

From 44SPL adjustments to 44MAG settings. Those two cases are ostensibly 125" different in their lengths.
