As for tips:
1. Reading the instructions can be confusing. Its actually a simple process. I read the instructions after the fact.
2. to adjust the die, you grab both ends of the spindle and turn opposite ways.
3. When the case mouth touches the bottom of the lock ring AND the plunger is on top of the powder AND the white line is just visible on top, the die is set.
4. Unlike Powder Cop type dies, the white line on the spindle will continue to rise past the top of the die if its a good load... this one drove me nuts. Only worry about that white line when setting up the die.
5. Powder tends to stick to the plunger. I havent done it yet, but a couple of forums say to sand it a little bit and\or spray graphite on it.
Looking fwd to your vid.
