COMPETITION SEATER DIES Reviews & Ratings

We feel the Redding Competition Bullet Seater is the best bullet 7/8-14 bullet seater on the market today. The machining is precise, and the sliding chamber is the smoothest we have ever experienced in a seater. This micrometer-adjustable die is calibrated in .001"" increments for precise seating depth adjustments and is infinitely adjustable (no clicks). It also has a zero set feature that allows you to zero the micrometer to your favorite seating depth. Sold separately or as part of a set. Also available for handgun and straight wall cartridges.

Come on Redding, NO crimp in this die

I love Redding products.But these dies have a crimping ring. That is OK on a standard seating die but wasted on a precision seating die. One must back off the case from the crimp ring leaving the case in a "wobble" when one would prefer maximum centricity of the case, shot of bumping the die. Also one must trim case length more often. Come on Redding, NO crimp in competition seater dies!
