I spoke to an RCBS tech, and he recommended just letting my carbide die gently "kiss" the shell holder before the press cams over
You do understand if the RCBS Rock Chucker cammed over the die would move away from the shell holder.
And then there is that part about the Rock Chucker linkage kicking the ram back at the bottom, logic says if that is true the top of the ram kicks forward. Now I ask what does that do to the die if the shell holder grinds against the bottom of the die and if the carbide ring is recessed what happens to the bottom of the die.
I understand there is no propose for operating the ram under a no load condition meaning the case aligns the shell holder with the die.
