[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1784740, member: 26535"] I am not sure if there is a question in there but I will answer what I think you are getting at. Both Redding and Hornady offer "vld" seating stems. Why they are not the default I just don't understand. There is no down fall to using a seating stem that is "too deep". The problem with one that is too shallow is it will seat on the tip and not the ogive. The base to ogive measurement of every bullet I have ever measured is far more consistent than base to tip. Seating to the ogive yields a far more consistent seating depth. So yes the "vld" seating stems are worth it but I find it ridiculous we have to buy them. [/QUOTE]
