Best seater die for 20 Practical

[Tim Singleton]

I am currently using a Redding type s bushing 223 die to neck down to .204
But the 223 seater die is pretty sloppy for seating the .204 bullets.

What are you guys using for a seater die?
Will the 204 roger work

Will a 204 ruger seater die work?

The Redding die will not do it.

Use the Forster Ultra seater for 223... the chamber will give full support and alignment to the case before the bullet is started. It is easy and off the rack.

+1 on the Forster Ultra seater for the .20P

I use the standard Forster seater die in 204R

The .223 rcbs seater die works like a charm, never had a issue seating the 20P bullets w/it.

I have been using the Hornady 20 cal seating die for my 20 Tactical and 204 Ruger; and really like the way it seats bullets. I has the sliding collet that holds the bullet in alignment until seated.

This is what I've ended up with. Outstanding with the internal sleeve that fits the neck

i use the hornady 204 seating die for my 20 practical with no issues.

Redding will not sell direct to a customer. Sinclair was recommended to get a decaping assembly part #14206 for their 223 type S bushing neck die. Unfortunately, Sinclair is out of them at the moment.

For my 20P, i use my Redding S Type 223 three die set and i purchased everything I needed directly from Redding because Sinclair did not have the parts in stock and I could not wait 12 weeks, so I use the one set of dies for my 20 Prac, 223 REM and 6x45. Great people to work with. Maybe they have changed their policy lately and if so that's news to me.

The best seater in my opinion for the .20 practical is the Forester BR204 Seater Die.

Wilson In Line Seater Dies. Use them for all my rifles and have found them to be very reliable and provide me the best and consistent concentricity. They make one for .204 Ruger (according to their chart of available dies). Checkout their website, Sinclair or any of the other quality suppliers.
