Thread: Micrometer Seating Stems - A Primer

Sorry, I'm not offering info. Don't know anything much about them. But I'm interested..did a Forum search, the topic comes up but bits here and there. Google gets more but again, info spread around..

What might be interesting to have here is the following sort of info-

Do you use them and for what applications, like, just benchrest comps or for hunting also?

Can you buy a micrometer seating plug from one manufacturer, say Redding, and use it in another's die, say Lee?

Apart from the obvious of super accurate, repeatable seating depth achieved, are there other particular benefits?

Which ones do you best like?

Is a micrometer stem caliber specific or just bullet design specific - STD/VLD, or both?

Is Forster better than Redding, why?

Better for just some calibers or many?

What are the tips, tricks, gotchas?

Is it worth getting into and for what sort of shooter?

Etc
