Help with sizing die

[K22]

I had read the instructions and watched the video, however I will not use something until I’m certain about how they are working. I knew that they included the shims and said that they could be used, but until today I was not certain how they would modify the headspace setting. I took the die apart on a table in front of me and it struck me how they would do what is advertised. Then I put them to the test and they worked. I need to know how something works, before I will use it. This die is not the same as most sizing dies out there and until today, I was not certain how each of its features operate. I’m very happy now though! You are definitely right about reading the directions though.

The important issue is that you resolved the problem.

I too would have been confused by that die function, never seen one that functions that way. In the past I have by passed reading instructions on something that I was familiar with and most of the time I got away with it. But a few times I got burned so now I discipline myself to read the instructions first.
