    @Cordite thanks for that info. Have had a look and a 3mm drill bit simply slides into the 308 seating stem well past where the stem is contacting the bullet. So maybe have to go to 3.5-4 mm

    If you have access to a lathe it is easy enough to just make some new ones. I found with the Lee dies you might have to make the stem longer to get them to work nicely with the design I made.
    I didn't end up getting the concentricity results I wanted and bought higher quality dies.

    I have also read a few things on epoxy bedding stems to a bullet but haven't tried it myself.
