[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 359789, member: 15748"] They're a major convenience when resetting depths for seating, but the main advantage to these types of dies is in the sliding sleeve that supports the case during the process, not the micrometer itself. They do help to reduce run out and are a staple for most of us who shoot competitively. As someone has already mentioned, with some bullets the seater plug may need some modification to keep the bullets from being marked or distorted. This applies mostly to very long ogive VLD type bullets. You'd probably never see this if you stick to more conventional 7-9 caliber ogive designs, but where's the fun in that? Yeah, they're worth it. Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
