If your single stage needs the spacer for the dies, why not just make a spacer for the LNL press conversion bushing? Then just leave it under the LNL press bushing on the RC.

The spacer thickness for me was in the neighborhood of 0.100", it needs to go between the locking ring on the die and the bushing or else it will never lock up in the press because the lugs won't go "into battery" </div></div>
What I'm suggesting is putting the spacer between the press and the press conversion bushing, not between the press conversion bushing and the die bushing(s). In other words, shim the female LNL bushing up on the press, instead of shimming each die up on its male LNL bushing.

I gotcha, I like it, slick idea.
