I don't think the micrometer seater is worth the extra cost. I don't have any, don't want one.

I measure COAL, adjust until the target goal is reached.

Understood, but please correct me if I'm wrong; when seating bullets with the Redding or Forester micrometer dies, it is an "exact" science, however when using dies without a micrometer, one must measure and adjust, but how do you know how far your adjusting other than measuring again? It seems very redundant and not as precise to me; what am I missing?


In their day those guys walked five miles to school, barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways. grin

Yep... grin

How'd ya know... whistle

Adjusting and measuring works for me and I get the exact COAL I'm looking for.
