[QUOTE="hubel458, post: 1611938, member: 6474"] The seating die we use solves the problem, it is the secret, IE we don't put case with powder in the press with bullet in it. We put case in and raise it up with the top bushing out, drop long bullet in, they are all boat tail, and screw in bushing down over the bullet to preset height, the raise ram and seat and center bullet. Then lower ram and loaded round comes out. This way round 5.8" long can be done in a press with 5.5" stroke, and the bushing setup in the top centers round straight, as good as closed end top plug with bullet point pushing against it.
