No. I just clamped a piece of steel the correct distance away so the rim on the shell would hang over it. Push em through. At our club the Mec is the most used press. The Mec short kit is pretty simple and straight forward - don't know what isn't lining up. I've also after cutting a spacer the correct size out of wood or steel just picked up the metal clip and slid my spacer under it. All you're doing is putting the shortened shell up higher so the start crimp and final crimp will work. It's kind of a rip off to charge that much money for something so simple.
