A-TIP STEM FOR FORESTER AND REDDING DIES

[4xforfun]

I am going to try some A-tip bullets (30 cal 230/250) , but understand that you need a special seating stem. I am going to try them in several different 30 cal. tubes.....300 WSM and 300 WBY. I have several brands of dies for my different tubes. Do I just get one stem and it is good for all of my dies, or are they brand specific? I see them for Hornady dies, and I see generic ones at places like Cheaper Than Dirt. I run Forester and Redding seating dies.

Any guidance would be helpfull,

Tod

Brand specific for seating stems.

You can also drill your current seating stems deeper to fix this problem.

Might have to enlarge the hole in the stem as well, to make sure the contact edge of the stem is further down the ogive of the bullet.
