.243 WSSM Redding Competition Seater Die
The Redding Competition Seater Die is considered by many to be one of the most accurate and consistent bullet seating dies in the world. This die goes well beyond the capabilities of the standard seating die and addresses many of the issues or problems handloaders run into on standard seaters. The manufacturing tolerances/precision are made possible by the patented seating stem system. The fit between the seating stem and guide is so precise that it can be visibly seen by the slight vacuum it creates. The seating stem is precision ground (not turned) to exactly match the bullet diameter.
The precision ground chamber sleeve completely captures and supports the cartridge case prior to the bullet seating operation beginning. As the case is captured in the chamber sleeve a spring system pushes the case and bullet up until it reaches the seating stem. This system ensures that the case doesn’t move during the seating operation.
The micrometer head is calibrated in increments of 0.001" and allows the handloader to adjust the seating depth precisely or return to previous settings. The click free adjustment means it is infinitely adjustable. It also has a "zero" feature that allows you to zero the micrometer to your favorite seating depth or for a particular rifle.
