What's this all about?




Does anyone else think this is BS, or is there something I do not know that I obviously SHOULD know? Does this have something to do with an alleged weakness of Redding's version of the sliding sleeve competition seater?

Heavily compressed loads can create problems when seating bullets. Our Competition Seating Die is not a powder compression die. The excessive force required to seat a bullet on a compressed load can damage the die and may cause seating depth variations. Switching to a faster burning or ball powder may eliminate the need to excessively compress the powder charge.
