[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1150712, member: 9551"] The most cost effective are Wilson seating dies. You can also buy a blank and have your riflesmith ream the barrel and the seating die at the same time. Here is a photo of the Wilson seating stem, standard and VLD. Riflesmith reamed dies are very useful for wildcat cartridges. If you do not have an Arbor press, tap the top of the die with a piece of wood or a plastic hammer. I started my reloading career seating bullets with a broken baseball bat handle. I now use the inertia bullet puller as a tap in hammer at the range. Redding makes VLD seating stems for some of their seating dies. Call them to get help. I do not think much of RCBS dies. Even the competition die with the sleeve inserts I have found not as good as the Wilson. I have had a Gunsmith rebore some to the seating stems from dies that with names like RCBS, Lee and Forster. Look at the Sinclair catalog to see the accurate dies that shooters are using. [/QUOTE]
