[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 957889, member: 74902"] Hornady makes a micrometer for their dies. It works but is harder to read than the black ones from Redding, etc. For best consistency when seating the bullets, first sort the bullets by bearing surface, second make sure the case necks all have the same tension. I keep my brass together in lots based on how many times they have been fired. This helps keep the neck tension the same. If that doesn't work, try making a mark on the seater stem adjuster and the die body. Then turn the stem counter clockwise 1/8 turn or so. Seat the bullet, measure, turn some more measure, until the seating depth is perfect. [/QUOTE]
