[QUOTE="Magnett, post: 1954113, member: 59722"] I have both the Custom Grade dies and Match Grade Dies from Hornady and both are very good. When I added the micrometer seater to my Custom Grade bullet seater I can seat the bullet to within .0005" base to ogive. COAL will vary sometimes but, as long as the BTO is consistent and you can seat within your magazine you will be ok. You must make sure the seating stem is the correct stem (call Hornady and discuss with them, they are very helpful) for that bullet. If the stem is touching the tip of the bullet it is the wrong stem. The seating stem should only touch the ogive of the bullet. If the stem leaves any marks on the bullet's ogive polish the inside of the seating stem with a Q-tip chucked in a drill using flitz polish. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
