[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 665672, member: 25383"] I pretty much go the same route that you do. I'm also kinda odd in that I prefer the old style seater die to the new ones with micrometer on the Wilsons. I just use a metal shim under the head. Now I'm a "garbage in-garbage out" kinda guy. I believe that if you start with good strait cases; the rest will fall in place. I use almost nothing but Forster seaters (threaded), but with three or four exceptions. Plus it's a given that no seater can straiten up a bad case! Most guys will inspect a case after resizing, and that's OK. But you really want to check it before resizing as well. Look for a bump or a hicky made by the extractor (rather common). I keep a small India Stone just to remove those bumps. A thousandth there really trigs out to some substantial numbers in a 3" long case. One thing about the Forster seaters that alot of folks ignore is that they can order in a smaller caliber, and ream it out with their chamber reamer. An example would be a 6mmx45mm round. You can start with a .222 and literally make the seater fit your chamber. Sinclair used to sell all the spare parts for Forster dies (guess they still do?) gary [/QUOTE]
