[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1097451, member: 9551"] You did not read carefully. I addressed seating first then sizing. Seating First: I do not find a Micrometer useful. The threads on the standard cap and stem are precision enough. I use the calibrated shims (Skip's Shims) for fine adjustments. I use an arbor press that I found at a swap meet. Harbor Freight has new ones for under $150. I have a portable K&M for adjustments at the range, but it has been years since I used it. Sizing: I would urge you to purchase a [B][I]used[/I][/B] threaded or Bonanza press as well if you need to push shoulders. The pre-Chinese RCBS Rockchuckers are better and I bet that is the case for the other brands. You may find that you do not push shoulders or maybe another shooter at your range will push shoulders on his press when that is necessary. [/QUOTE]
