[QUOTE="Michael J. Spangler, post: 399581, member: 20314"] alright i'm new to this so bare with me. do bullet seating dies seat by pushing down on the tip of the bullet or on the part that is the diameter of the bore? i've been trying to find some info on this and i guess i'm not wording it properly so i'm not getting good results from the search function. if the die seats based on the tip then we wouldn't be able to control proper distance from lands without all kind of fiddling. but if it seats from the major diameter of the bullet, then it would be repeatable, and consistent, completely ignoring the difference in base to tip length right? and i guess another questions is, do all dies work this way? or only some? thanks for the help guys. this forum is a super wealth of knowledge and source of trouble for me, i keep wanting to buy more things and shoot more. i just can't see using my newly acquired .300RUM and not reload it to it's potential thanks again guys [/QUOTE]
