Expander button position on the FL die stem
One of the advantages of Forster dies is that the expander button is positioned high up on the stem, minimizing the effects of off centered buttons, namely crooked necks. i decided doing the same with my Redding die, screwing the stem high enough that The expander button just does the case neck. Prior to this step, I removed the now useless depriming pin. I deprime in a separate operation with a hand tool, while sitting on the range waiting for my barrel to cool between shot strings.
am I doing the right thing here?

Seems reasonable to me. If you have access to a runout measuring system, I am curious to see how much this hack improves neck concentricity and parallelism. I too have started depriming in a separate step, but I use my press to do it. What handheld tool do you use?
