[QUOTE="Stan Malinky, post: 1980200, member: 108698"] Just received the new polished seating stem yesterday. Last night I set up the die using a brand new prepped piece of Norma Brass and when I seated the bullet the seating pressure was normal. I will be loading a couple of fire formed brass and I will report back. The diameter change after I seated the bullet was .001 +/- .0005. Neck average inside diameter .3035, bullet diameter as expected 0.0308, neck thickness 0.016. I did not want to take apart the FL dies from the same manufacture at this time so I measured the expander button from another die set (RCBS) and found the diameter to be 0.305. I do use an inside neck lubricate, (graphite) when I size the brass and I do not brush it out. I have to get a block of brass fire formed and set up before the opener. Once I reload the fire formed brass in a couple of days I will post the results. [/QUOTE]
