As a old die hard LEE user new tricks are hard to learn.
Just messed with them for a hour and think I have it but shouldn't be this frustrating.
Takes 5 minutes on a LCTP
I have MANY Lee dies and have set them up on single stage and turret but never on a Progressive
The Lee instructions pretty much, raise the ram turn die until it touches shell holder then blah blah.
My question, frustration is on the LnL AP the shell plate is not like a shell "holder"
So when screwing the die down it goes into the recess of the shell plate. (if the die hit the top of the shell plate, then it would be about the same as a "shell holder")
Question: Should I allow for the difference in space from the bottom of the shell plate to the top (about the thickness of a nickle or so)??
If screwed down all the way there are little to no threads left up top for the lock ring??
The Hornady instructions all show for a single stage with shell holder which I am used to, not the AP press.
Hope this makes sense
