Hey folks, I just got a hornady classic kit and I need some help as I have never reloaded. All I really need help with is setting up the dies.
I'm located in Abbotsford BC.....I have no clue how to set the dies.
Please pm me.
Thanks
I will presume you are going to load bottle neck cartridges, but it would have been nice if you had been more informative.
When the press is solidly mounted, run the ram right up and hold it there.
turn the sizing die in, until it makes solid contact with the shell holder. Lift the handle slightly, and turn the die, maybe another 1/8 turn and lock it there with the locking ring.
Sizing die is set.
After you have loaded for a while, you may want to neck size, but that comes later.
Screw in the seating die to with in to about 1/8 inch of the shell holder, with ram right up. Lock the die there with the locking ring.
Seating die is set.
Loosen the lock on the upper adustment screw on the top.
When you go to seat a bullet, you will just follow instructions in your reloading manual.
