I've always wonder *exactly* what is this? When setting up dies I set up by screwing down the die until it touches the shell holder when the shell holder is fully upward. And then I lower the shell holder and turn the die further down 1/8 to 1/4 and set the large nut. Why do they call this "press cams over center"?
When the die is screwed down initially and touches the shell holder why cannot we leave it like that? When we have to screw down a little more (1/8 to 1/4) the handle very slightly "bumps" over center...for lack of better explanation. Is this what is called "came over center"? Will this damage the press body?
