What am I doing wrong, it seems the die is not long enough. 30 Nosler, 215 Bergers trying to load to an oal of 3.600"+ or more but to get the die to slightly cam over for consistent seating and backing the dial as far as I can without it coming off the Oring I can only get to 3.560". am I missing something or are these dies only made for sami specs or do I have to deal with inconsistent seating and leave the die up a little higher,(no cam over), or is there a die that has more inside length?

Raise the die. You dont need cam over on seating
Do explain, lol

See quick start setup link
No cam over on the comp seat die. Lightly touching is ok.

Hes already backed the stem all the way out. Its not a sizing die if youre contacting the shellholder thats at least 1/4” too far on the body
He said he has the dial backed out, there is more adj, back the seat plug stop out.
big bulls. your cam over is a no no , could damage your seating die . try this , make a reference mark on the threads @ the set screw on the locking ring , losen the set screw, back off 1 turn this will = .071 thou, turn your mic down .031 thou. presto magic. good luck .dave
His die sliding sleeve cannot come in contact with the shellholder plate, it is impossible. The case sticks out 1/4"
My bad, back the whole thing out, I never knew or have ran my sleeve that far in. There's some adj on top though too.
milo . if so then the sliding sleeve has topped out . he said he has a cam over condition . I would like him to try my suggestion. maybe ??? dave
Could you place a dummy round in the shell holder ,raise the ram than assemble the Die indexing to zero on your personal CBTO? Then if you want.016 jump just turn the micro adjustment to 16 seat and confirm?
Hey didn’t post #15 just say the same thing””
Maybe I’m not as dumb as I look

By all means. I had already admitted I was wrong above. If you are camming over on to die surface, about have to be close to sizing brass.
milo. I'am glad we are on the same page now ,I was starting to think I lost more of my marbles. don't have many left anymore. shoot small. dave
Haha, I could not seat a bullet w/o bottoming my press handle out, use die threads to make it happen, then stem adj. I mistook camover in this instance.
