Seating Dies, Forster vs Redding

MarckCO : I agree completely . I’d assume you’d agree , fully understanding what you want and or need as well as how each component works and how it can then be used by you to accomplish your goals is very important ?

Until these last few post I was going to get the redding die for my 223 as well . The fact my 223 loads are on the whole more often compressed loads then my 308 and compressed more , for me the forster die would be better for my needs . I needed a complete understanding before making those decisions .

Mg,

The last FGM loads I pulled were all 43.5 grains, ±0.2 grains of 4064 and the indentation of the base in the powder was clear in the Federal cases. QuickLOAD puts it at 0.4% compression, but 4064 is so susceptible to pack differently depending on how it was dropped, that it's possible for it not to be compressed as well.

I have done well with the RCBS.

Havn't found anything sub standard about them, I suspect each die mfg gets a poor one loose once in a while.

And bless them, I wanted a comp seater in 7.5 x 55 and they were the only ones that had it (at least I could find)
