[QUOTE="Gord0, post: 1351205, member: 99696"] You couldn't tell it was cracked unless you have really good eyesight, or looked at it under magnification. Then you could see hairline fractures. I assembled the die and backed the seating stem way out so it was just barely starting the bullet. Disassembled the die. I then took the bullet that had been coated with clear shoe polish (same way I do rifle actions) Filled the seating stem with devcon. Removed ALL extra that squeezed out anywhere. Reassembled the die without the spring and just barely seated a bullet. Let it set up for a while and then removed the bullet and let set up for a full day. Down side is I'm stuck using only that bullet with that seating stem now. [/QUOTE]
