For the first time in my life, I got a set that includes a neck resizing die, but there were no instructions in the box and I could not find the relevant instructions on Redding's web site. To further complicate matters, I have never reloaded a belted case. So, here are some beginner type questions for you:
1. How do I set up the .300 Win Mag neck resizing die in my single stage Rock Chucker? Do I screw it all the way down to the shell holder just like I do with my full length dies or does this die need to sit high above the belt on this case when the press handle completes the downstroke?
2. Same question regarding the full length resizing die. Does the die swallow the entire case, belt and all, or does it sit above the belt when the press handle is fully lowered?
3. Redding "Competition" Micrometer seating die... Does the internal sleeve accept the belted part of the case, or does it sit above the belt when the case is fully inserted into the die on the downstroke?
