[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1094845, member: 39764"] I'll have to take issue with that. I use an RCBS Gold Medal micrometer seater die, in fact I use the same seater die across all my calibers...223, 308, 6.5 and 338 by interchanging the seater stems and shell holders (if it needs an extended shell holder for a short case). No issues whatsoever, in fact seated pills are always within 0.001-2 in concentricity checked on a Sinclair runout gage with a Starrett dial indicator. I have a couple Redding dies but I prefer RCBS bushing dies or Whidden for location concentricity of the sizing stem, my preference only on dies but the GM Micrometer seater is very versitale.... and in actuality, you only need one unless you are loading 50BMG, then the standard GM Seater won't work. I don't. If I could seat my pistol pills with it, I would...lol I'm glad a pistol has a forcing cone to align the bullet when it leaves the brass.... [/QUOTE]
