I am completely new at this...
I just acquired a LEE turret press and some Dillon .308 dies (3 set). I followed the online instructions from Dillon for set up and went through a dry run to verify die positions. The bullet seating die placed the bullet about a 1/4" deaper than I expected. Instructions read: screw die until it masked contact with shell plate then back off half a turn. Obviously I need to back it off more but when I do something that strays from the directions that much I start having doubts.
What should I do to get in the ball park without having to seat a bunch of bullets incorrectly?
Thanks
