Whats the 'secret' to geting the 'die' started properly ???

Take a small piece of steel or aluminum, 3/4" thick is good, 1/2" would
be OK. Drill a 1/2" hole in it. Slip this piece over your stock and
clamp your die stock to it. I have a piece with holes for all the sizes
that I die-thread. Won't work if your piece to be threaded is too short.

Wow! You've invented the multiple sized colleted die holder.
