[QUOTE="Clark, post: 669756, member: 6600"] I had the problem 10 years ago with a Forster 257RAI seater, and I had the same prublem recently with a Forster 260 seater. The concave shape of the seater stem that touches the bullet does not match the shape of the bullet. So a tiny ring is cut into the bullet where the seater does touch it. To fix this, I take the seater stem out, look at it with a microscope, then spin it in a drill while touching the contact area with fine sandpaper. I am in effect de burring the tiny burr that was made at the factory when the part was deburred. Other guys do one better, and glass bed the desired bullet to the seating stem, with release agent.
