[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 1953240, member: 72440"] I have recently pulled a lot of bullets on long range accubonds and the Hornady ELD and other high BC bullets the COAL spread was too wide, some were too long using my old 300 win mag Lee dies. Have moved to the micrometer seating stems DIES with the VLD seating stems, the seating stems appeared to be part of the issue with mine. I now have the RCBS match 300 win mag, and the Redding premium sets 338 win mag which have the micrometers seating stems. Seating for a group of three is now about 0.3-0.5 thousandths with the RCBS and Redding set and some dead-on with the Redding set up, still working to try to get it more consistent just got the RCBS set this week. I have found seating the bullet and then adjusting the die to crimp works the best. With my lee set had to use a separate die to crimp and that seemed to be what was really messing with the consistency, (when I measured the bullet seat before and after crimp). Which is why I bought the RCBS match seating die after I found the Redding set was much more consistent. Maybe should have sent the bullets into Lee and got a custom seat. [/QUOTE]
