Are micrometer seater dies worth it?

[Silly_Ghillie]

I use a non-micrometer RCBS. I usually use Dykem layout fluid and some tape to mark my dies to sharpie marks on the press for each load and keep a dummy just in case. Its not that I wouldn't mind having a mic'ing die, I just keep allocating those funds to more powder and bullets instead for some reason...

The simple answer is yes, they are worth it.

if most of the loads your planning to make are mainly for hunting? Or is this more for a competition thing?

Never understood the notions behind that.
THIS is where you actually need accuracy.

I find mine invaluable

Just got my first Forster micrometer seater and thought holy crap why didn't I start with these a long time ago!

Something I noticed is when doing load workup looking for maximum charges, heavily compressed loads can push the bullet back out a few thou. The micrometer allows me to go back and set all rounds the same.

They do make things easier for me.
