I have this die.....It works great.....I do not use it every time, only when regular FL sizing is not enough.
When I set up my FL die, I take my firing pin assy and ejector out of my bolt. I then set up my die to bump THE SHOLDER just enough so that the bolt closes about 1/2 way with gravity and just a light push to close it the rest of the way. I figured I get about a .001 bump on the shoulder. Once I find this setting, I lock up my die and throw away the key....it will NEVER change. I NEVER headspace on the belt.
If you are hunting "dangerous game" and are not smart enough to run EACH AND EVERY LOADED ROUND through your rifle BEFORE you go afield..well..lets just say that there is a good reason for the rule of natural selection!!!
