[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2366527, member: 101791"] I have a question? I am looking at Frankford Arsenal Universal Bullet Seating Die set up. This includes set up from .224 thru .338 calibers. Now I have set my bullet with RCBS bullet seating dies for each different calibers. Never used a Mic. die setup. I have the equipment to check the ogive of each bullet. I understand that there are difference between each bullet built and the reason why this is need to be paid attention too. I feel or think that a seating set should be able to detect or seat the bullet to the ogive, and not the tip or close to that, which most basic seating dies do or close to that. I never had much problem with the round being concentric either. I have always been very careful in placing the bullet into the case to seat the bullet. Be sure that the bullet is seating straight. I have been purchasing bushing dies to set dia. to lighten the tension on the bullet being seated. Changing to different bullets, will change the set back from the land for that rifle. Now I generally end up just using a single stile of bullet for that rifle that I use. So once I get set up on a load for that rifle that's what I stay with from then on. If I need to spend the money to get a different seating die for each caliber so be it. It's off to the races! I load for about 20 different rifles presently. No all are mine, son rifles too. [/QUOTE]
