[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 3043105, member: 115819"] I'm likely to answer my own question by asking it, but I looked and didn't quite get the full answer I was after, doesn't seem like anyone followed up after they got advice. Does anyone get good results from the Lee seater? I'm working on a 25-06, wanted to see if the rifle was a shooter, so I thought I'd try Lee and get the FCD while I was at it. Have heard good things from people I trust. I got nice results from the sizer, but I cannot get the bullets to seat straight. They're going in grossly crooked no matter how I start them. I could do better with a tack hammer. The seater is not riding on the tip, nothing seems wrong with the die except it feel like it's a 30-06 die with a 22 cal stem in it. It's making sharp contact right past the tip of the 90g AH. I've seated non-boattail/shallow tail bullets before but this is another level. I'm also not exactly loving this nosler brass, it seems excessively soft, buying something else in 270 win and necking down is on my list. I can add pics in a little while. The right answer of course is to fire this thing into the sun and buy the forster I know works, but that's not in my budget this week. Thanks for any advice or teasing. [/QUOTE]
