Hornady New Dimension Expander Dies - Manual

Before using your new die, it must be thoroughly cleaned. A rust
preventative is applied at the factory and must be removed before
using the die. We recommend Hornady One Shot Cleaner and Dry lube
or any commercial solvent will suffi ce. The expander die is designed to
put a slight “bell” or fl are on the case mouth. For uniform fl aring trim
all cases to proper length.
To adjust the expander die, fi rst place a case in the shell holder and
raise the ram to full extension. Thread the expander die into the press
until the expander touches the case mouth. Raise the handle and
screw down the die in quarter-turn increments, each time inspecting
the case mouth, until the mouth of the case has been fl ared just
enough to start a bullet into the case mouth. Tighten the lock ring
against the press, and lock it in place with the set screw. Keep in
mind that excessive fl are can eventually shorten case life, and may
keep the case from properly entering the seating die.
