[QUOTE="Mike027, post: 911366, member: 5816"] Well I went down to Cabelas and picked up a box of Sierra Game Kings so at least I can get some rounds loaded up for the next break in the weather. In the meantime I got a note back from RCBS (I am surprised to get a note back on a Sunday) and they gave me the information on how to obtain the right seater plug. As TopTuna indicated the RCBS special order shop can build a custom stem for me at a cost of $16.95 plus $4.50 shipping and handling. They want me to send them 3 bullets plus the diameter of the seater stem in the die that I will be using. They further explain that they make seater plugs in 1/4 x28 and 1/2x20. Using a digital caliper I measure the seater stem and it read at .245" and it does have 28 threads per inch. This is a stem from a standard RCBS die. This may sound like a stupid question but is it common for the stem to measure less than a 1/4 inch or could my digital caliper be off a little bit? When I measured the stem on the sizer die it read exactly .250 so that got me wondering. Mike [/QUOTE]
