A few months back I bought a Frankford Arsenal universal seater planning on using it to do seating depth tests on my 30BW ( 30 Major, 30 Grendel). The rifles builder had supplied me with a Wilson inline but without the micrometer top. Excellent once you have seating depth dialed in but a bit of a pain to use for varying the seating depth. I have not experimented much with the 30 BW so far but recently purchased 1000 Berger 6mm 68gn flatbase bullets and 8 pounds of N133 for my 6BRs. I planned on loading 50 rounds this morning but soon discovered the short flatbase bullets were a challenge to get started using a Redding Micrometer seater without pinching my fingers. I thought this is a good time to try that Frankford seater out. Fifty rounds later I was glad I had purchased it.
The window for loading the bullets made life simple again, the micrometer adjustments were spot on, and runout on the finished rounds was 90% less than .001 with a maximum of .0015. I only wish this had been available when I first started reloading
