[QUOTE="woods, post: 545019, member: 6042"] Don't know if they custom make the RCBS competition seater, probably not. For my 6.5 rem mag I use the 6.5x55 Swede RCBS comp seater and will settle for a Redding Comp seater or Forster Comp seater if the RCBS is not available. I'm kinda off of the Lee crimp die because they tend to progressively shorten the case length when you have to chamfer off the previous crimp. I discovered this on my 280AI when on the 6th or 7th reload I could no longer crimp with the LFCD because the case length fell out of it's range. Now I shoot for .003" bullet grip and haven't seen the need for crimping anymore. Probably should on the 375 Ruger or the 338RUM but we'll see. If you get a custom Lee Collet made also get them to send you mandrels .002" and .003" under caliber diameter and it will give you some options for more bullet grip. They only cost $5.00 each after you hit the minimum amount for shipping. [/QUOTE]
