[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1593112, member: 28965"] I'm not sure if custom seating dies are made, but both Forster and Redding make two types of this same type die. The higher priced dies are micrometer seating dies but cost much more, the Redding die is $100.00. The good point about this type die is it is able to slightly reduce/correct bullet runout. German Salazar did a test of various seating dies and these type came in first place. The link below is the entire seating die test, but it is in adobe acrobat .pdf format so you need adobe reader to see it.
