[QUOTE="DUSTY NOGGIN, post: 1728482, member: 89550"] when using very soft jacketed varmint bullets , the seater plug can deform the end of the bullets giving inconsistent ogive measurements , you want your neck tension to overcome before any bullet damages ( amax are very soft jackets ) the spring is only on the case support tube , it only supports the case while the seating happens , because rifle cases are slightly bigger at the rear ( tapered up to the shoulder ). the forester seater dies do not have any springs that will change the the distance between the seater plug and the base of the shell holder ( bottom out that support tube spring , so teh shell holder almost hits the die body then . back out only until you can read the numbers ) a standard seater die like an rcbs , will have some gap between the shoulder and the die body , and sometimes push the brass against the side of the die body while allowing the bullet to start seating crooked ,leaving you with runout as large as that gap was , the forester case support tube is likely machined to match foresters ideas of the measurements they think a sized case should be ( brass measurements from other sizing dies may not fit that tube so well ) please post what you find with the trigger issues ...i still can not see the relations to the bullet jamming , when you say the trigger will lock when touching sideways. that makes me think that you are right on that edge of too light adjustment , if you do some research i think you will find that there are ways to keep pull weight light and still function well , and get to keep the accurelease safety aspect of it [/QUOTE]
