[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 296873, member: 8037"] A micrometer is not needed, especially if you're loading to magazine length. The competition dies have an alignment sleeve that helps start the bullet straight; the standard Forster seating die is so furnished. However, unless you have a run-out problem caused by crooked bullets, it won't benefit you. Roll your loaded rounds across a flat surface (plate glass, like a tabletop); if run-out is visually detectable, you can improve the situation. Change your technique, like using a VLD inside chamfer, trying to hold the bullet straight when initiating seating, and rotating the round two or three times during the seating process. I would replace the lock rings with a cross-cinch design like Hornady's or the optional Lyman ring. You may not feel the need. [/QUOTE]
