[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1361863, member: 77536"] I pulled the seating stem out of the die and cleaned everything thoroughly with brake cleaner. I took a loaded round and smeared neutral shoe polish on it for a release agent as well as the inside of the die itself. I used jb weld myself but there are plenty of other options out there. Mixed it up and applied to the inside of the stem. Put die together in the press and cycled loaded round until it was making good contact between the bullet and stem. I pulled everything apart when the excess compound I had was getting stiff and cleaned the die out. Put everything back together and wait for it to set up. After it was set up, I took an .025" drill and ran in it to account for any variation in metplat length. [/QUOTE]
