223 LE Wilson Seater Die

[Rtheurer]

Does anyone here have any experience with the LE Wilson Arbor Press Seating die in 223? I am wondering if the Seater stem in it is working with the 88gr ELD, 90gr SMK and more specifically the 90gr Berger VLD bullet?
Please dont respond if you are not using these three bullets, I am not interested in any use other than those.

I use the VLD specific stem with my Wilson .223 die seating 80gr Berger VLD's

I also use the VLD stem with my LE Wilson Micrometer inline seating die with 80SMK and 80 Bergers. But I load lots of 88 ELD, 85.5 and 90 SMK with my LE WIlson inline micrometer seater in 22BR and I use their VLD stem.... Same stem as your 223 seater just different body...

Well $hit. I didn't see a VLD stem on the web site.

Yeah the non VLD stem leaves marks on my bullets but they still seem to shoot good so I never bothered buying the VLD stem.

I use one. Not sure which stem I have. I run very little neck tension.
