Redding Competition seating die. That's all I use anymore. This IS "AccurateShooter.com" right?? If you want the best accuracy possible out of your rifle, spend a few more dollars and get a really good seating die. The micrometer is surely a convenience but the overall quality of the design makes for better bullet concentricity and more consistent/repeatable results.

Seating depth, IMO, is more important (as a single step) than any part of the reloading process. If you're in the center of a node, a slight difference in charge weight won't make much difference. However, a few thousandths difference in seating depth can take a group from .5moa to 1".

I appreciate the information I am a hunter first and I like to punch paper I had a 243 built by Lee Gardner (precision) My first build was a 7MM Magnum Shilen match grade barrel Fagen stock a great shooter The 243 is a tack driver am hoping the 6.5 Creedmore will be the same I have always followed the OAL in the reloading books never ever did any different and always seem to come out on top Luck maybe but hunting I very seldom shoot over 300 yards couple times I have shot to maybe 500 yards again more luck than skill I always had scopes with just duplex cross hairs and I would just hold over where I thought I should be. I belong to a club now that has ranges too 1000 yards. I am now looking to buy a LR scope to scope the 6.5 and try some LR shooting I have been watching video's on LR shooting and 1st and second plane as said I am more a hunter and I think the number 2 plane would be better suited for hunting Varmints and Deer. Thanks Again
