Two reloading presses

[fkimble@charter.net]

I'll second the suggestion for "Skip's shims" Come in a pack made to fit under a die lockring. Come in .003-.010 if memory serves. Just check the 2 presses to see which one needs a shim and how much. They can be stacked if the .010 is not enough. Total is over .050.

. . . have 2 presses but use the same dies. what i dont want to do is have to change the die lock ring from press to press. what are the odds in 2 rockchuckers being the same. . .

The chances are ~0%, but if you shim the threaded insert on the shorter press, you can certainly match two presses.

Use the same press and get the quick change stuff from inlinefabrications i have there stuff and it works great and it will be cheaper then buying a second press.

Speaking of cam over...... The linkage on some presses go over center causing the ram to rise and then fall at the end of the stroke while others have a stop in the linkage that stops the press stroke just before going over center. The ones that "cam over" will produce repeatable results with a gap between the shell holder and the die. The ones with a stop may not. If you always adjust the sizing die to contact the shell holder you will get consistent results. This does require using the Redding Competition shell holders however.
