[QUOTE="TheDerkster, post: 1196111, member: 92447"] I definitely plan on lapping the seater. But its not a tip hitting issue. Its actually compressing a ring into the bullet where the seater hits. Theres room infront of the tip. But its putting such a deep ring at times that I can increase my seating depth almost 30-40 thousands over what I want. Say, I try to get them at 2.1755, but I end up with 2.145, which did happen the other day. It looked bad enough I pulled the bullet. Its like the seater has a very very small area of contact on the EOLs and as such, its forming the bullet until it has enough contact to push the bullet where it needs to go. Hopefully I have some grinding compound laying around at the shop. I can probably get it to be pretty good and get some more accurate results I hope. Im use to my Lee Seater Die for the 308 where I am almost always with +-.0005 inches. Super accurate as well. I think this die set has potential, it just needs a little more work. [/QUOTE]
