[QUOTE="britz, post: 147972, member: 7865"] I sent this infoe to Brown dog already, and I finally figured out how to post pictures so I will send it to the general public. In order to make a metal on metal stop for each seating w/out crimping I used a regular washer that fit fairly snug around the cartidge that I was seating for. I filed the washer on both sides to make it true to w/in 0.001" on both sides and I drilled two holes in it at the outer edges to put a thin wire trough to tie it up by the seater die (so I wouldn't have to take it on and off for each cartidge). I used simple paperclips to hold it w/ a rubber band (very crude, but it seems to work). I just finished loading 35 rds for testing and I measured each one to the ogive. It seemed to take about 5 seatings to get everything "settled in" because the first five bullets were seated about 0.002" longer than the rest. After the first five, they all stayed w/in 0.001", so I ran the first five through again. I know, it is very crude, but I was looking for an inexpensive way to make my loads a little bit better.
