[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2580109, member: 69192"] I don't know what RCBS is saying about setting the seating die, or any other seating die however.... I will set a seating die by placing a resized case into the press, run the case up to the top of the toggle and "then" screw the seating die down into the press until I feel the die hitting the top of the case. From that point I will back the seating die out 1/2 a turn and lock the seating die in place. Also, I am not certain if Lee makes their Professional Crimp die for the 6.5 PRC, however if you "do" decide that you want to crimp this would be the way to go. The Lee die squeezes the brass "into" the bullet by using a collet instead of "rolling" the brass over to form a crimp. Squeezing the brass into the bullet will prevent the brass from buckling/bulging the brass at the crimp, unlike a roll crimp that is adjusted too tight. [/QUOTE]
