[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 918035, member: 10429"] I have to say I agree that the seater stem on most dies will push or seat the VLd bullets from the point of the tip. So you may end up with bullets having different OAL when measure. I just took a drill to my seater yesterday and drilled out the inside some. I had some bullets loaded up using the 210 VLD (300 rum) and measured the shortest one and reset my die to this one. Ran through all of them reseating them with the drilled out seater. Re-measured with a compare gauge and now all are .001 or .0005 measured base to ogive. I hope this will decrease my groups a little and reduce the velocity spread somewhat. Only down side from yesterday is I stuck a case in my FLS die. I have not been able to get it out yet. I'll try a few more things and it no luck, I be buying another reading die set. [/QUOTE]
