[QUOTE="Charlie Brown Jr., post: 1956565, member: 86099"] One thing you can do is pull your seating stem out, chuck it up in a variable speed drill with the seating cone up, put a dab of epoxy in it and stuff a LRAB in it with releasing agent on the bullet, now slowly spin the stem in the drill you can see the slightest runout with the bullet spinning, play with the runout until you can no longer see the bullet wobbling, then with the bullet straight up in a vertical line let it set overnight, when the epoxy has hardened you will have a perfect fit on what ever bullet the epoxy has hardened on.. In a pinch you can even use a 6mm seater and use this method with a .224 bullet in the epoxy, when your done check the runout in a loaded cartridge with a bullet spinner, they usually come out better than they did with the factory seating stem.. Just looking at your case I'd say it would be a good idea to open up the neck in your die a few thousands just by chucking your die up in a lathe and sanding with 400 grit paper on a dowel, size a case and seat a bullet, when the seating feels about right polish with 800 or 1000 grit, the die will still be plenty hard and you won't have to use a cheater to seat bullets anymore..
