[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1096231, member: 41122"] The reason they dont recommend compressed loads with the micrometer seater is to avoid damaging the fine, precise threads (usually 40 pitch). A small amount of force to compress a load will likely not harm anything. I use compressed loads with a redding micrometer seater regularly. My loads produce a very faint crunch. I dont know how to define too much force or know the amount it would take to damage the seater but i imagine it would be more than a practical amount. I imagine if you minimal FL size and use a drop tube you will be just fine. [/QUOTE]
