Berger 140 VLD hunting

[Mcarso1]

i have been shooting Hornady 143 ELDX and when I bought my dies I bought the seating stem to match them, now I am wanting to try some Berger's and am wondering who shoots them if you are using a custom seating stem or not. Info appreciated, running them in 6.5x284 Norma. Thanks

Ive shot them and seated them with a Hornady die in 6.5 CM

Standard stem or did you use the 143eldx/147eldm stem?

sorry standard as I bought them in 2010 before eld s came out or an option

I have seated 1000's of VLD's in multiple calibers with a standard stem. No issues. I'm sure there are circumstances however where the VLD stem has advantage or benefit. I have just not tried one.
