Just curious, Do you set the dies in your tool head, the resize die in particular, so that they touch or even press on the shell plate at full ram extension?

I got into a discussion of this on another forum, where a newbe was advised to disregard the dillon manual, and set the dies so that the ram cams over as the die bears on the shell plate, the reason given by the poster was to avoid a varriation in OAL.

I warned that doing this might wear or break the linkage, and was PooPoohed off the thread.

Thanks
