Re: Upgrading my dies

Gube, had the same run-out problems with the RCBS Competition Seating dies.Went with the S bushing style dies from Redding and like skipper said "solved the problem".Also have talked to people who have had great results with the Hornady micrometer seating stem,not bad for a $20.00 item.

Re: Seat bullets that are not boat tail

skipper what was your average run-out using such seating dies.On a quest to find a seating die that will have a run-out average of .001 or less, hoping for the Forster Ultra or Redding Comp. dies if not then well be investing in an K&M arbor press and Wilson dies.
