INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Clean die bore before use. First with alcohol on a q-tip or paper towel. Then dry with a q-tip or paper towel.
Step 2: Turn the die into your press tool head with the case and bullet in the shell holder.
Step 3: Bring the tool head down over the bullet and turn the die down snug.
Step 4: Raise the tool head and turn the die down ¼ of a turn. Then lock the die into place.
Step 5: If you would like a tighter crimp, turn the die down another ¼ turn.
You will now have a perfect SAAMI spec round.
