    Yep my 6mm remington had a tight chamber and required cam over
    As others have said take it down till it touches the shell holder
    Then drop the ram to get the shell out the way
    Then arround a 1/4 turn more depending on the press
    Then you should feel the shell holder bottom out on the die
    Then if you keep going it will cam over feels like closeing a pair of vice grips
    This should be reasonably easy if it takes Excessive force back the die out slightly
    If its to easy put it in slightly more
    You’ll work it out it’s not rocket silence
