I just bought some Lee collet dies, but I'm concerned about the directions, which say to raise the ram, screw in the decapping/sizing dies to touch the base plate, and then screw the die DOWN another turn or so. I'd think this would overstress the hardware (such as my Dillon 550B). Perhaps it's OK for a single stage press where you could "feel" the collet sizing the neck, but with a progressive you want to run the ram all the way up in order to properly charge the powder and seat the bullet.

Comments? Anyone use these dies in a multi-stage press?
