[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1116809, member: 50867"] IMO, unless you're sorting bullets the Redding micrometer seating dies are no more accurate than an ordinary good quality seating die without the micrometer. The only advantage I've found using micrometer dies is that I can come closer to resetting a previous seating depth in a shorter period of time; but still have to do some fine tuning. Also, that the factory variance in bullets isn't improved by the micrometer seating die - if you want true repeatable seating results you need to sort bullets. I would assume that the Redding advice not to use their micrometer seating die on compressed loads may have something to do with the fact that, even with sorted bullets, the amount of pressure on the bullet against the powder cannot be measured perfectly and will ultimaetly affect the seating depth variable. But that's just my own theory .... [/QUOTE]
