As I slowly move into the "really precise" reloading, I hit a snag. When setting up my sizing die(RCBS competition set) I pull the stem and bushing, measure the fired case, lube and slowly "size-measure -screw down a little-" repeat, till my shoulder is pushed back .0015. Takes a while. With a shell pressed up into the die, I hand tighten the nut, and tighten the set screw. I do a couple shells and measure- size- repeat, to make sure it's right. Put the bushing and stem back in, then I finish my lot of brass. The next time I use that die, I screw it in, hand tight, and it's off and I have to repeat the whole set up process again. Is this "just the way it's done", or am I doing it wrong. I tried using 2 locking nuts, too hold the die better. Even thought about talking to a machine shop about making me a big locking nut with 2-3 set screws. Am I chasing my tail?
