As a general interst topic (as we need to get some discussion going) the setting up of reloading dies is a very important point in getting the best out of the gear you have.

All reloading dies come with instructions, have a turn here, touch the shell holder, don't etc etc. The true fact is you need to have a fired case out of your rifle and adjust the dies according to measurements you take from this fired case.

Having a great set of headspace gauges and knowing how to use them will assist you greatly when setting your dies up.

I think i would be very interesting to see how shooters do this so i am throwing it over to you to make a comment on how you do it. Then folks can pick and choose which method is best for them. It may mean that some shooters in clubs can get together one afternoon with shared gear and set everything up.
