I have a Lyman neck size die for my .270 that I got off of ebay. It didn't include any instructions. Do I just screw it down til it contacts the shell holder or does it go further?

thanks
 
That'd probably work. Or don't screw it in so far if you only want to resize part of the neck.

You may need to use a small amount of lube on the neck, I use a dry lube of moly powder and ball bearings to dip the neck in, some use graphite or "Midway Mica" and a gadget that holds brushes vertically to clean the inside of the neck and apply a little lube.

I'd also reccommend you chuck the expander ball into a drill and polish it with fine emery paper to a mirror finish. This will ease thepassage thru the neck, and reduce the tendency of the expander to misalign the neck.

Hope this helps.
