Do I need to adjust the seating die to seat each bullet to the same depth?

[QUOTE="dah605, post: 1216529, member: 63391"] I replaced the standard seating stem in my Redding dies with the VLD seating stem. I'm typically using the Berger Hybrids. Consistency went up considerably. I'm typically within +/-0.001 now without having to measure each one and adjust. To get the same consistency without the VLD stem, I used to seat long, measure, and then adjust the micrometer seating die the correct amount to get the same seating depth when I used the standard stem. Just using the stem resulted in +/- 0.003. The seating stem will likely only help if you are using bullets that more close match the shape of the stem. -David [/QUOTE]
