Frankford Universal Micrometer Seating die

[Wolfdog91]

Anyone happen to have gotten their hands on one if these ? Would like to start messing around with something a little nice then my Lee dies but $60-$100 for some of these individual dies is a bit much for me lol ( I'm not a super anal target shooter or anything like that) . Saw this and seems like it would be just the ticket for somone like me. Anyone have any experience with it ?

I use mine exclusively for 762x39 with ballistic tipped projectiles because my Lee seating die wasn’t working for me.
I have used it for 223 but I don’t have any problems seating the smaller bullets with my regular seating die but if I was seating ballistic tips I would use it for them.
I wouldn’t pay a hundred and fifteen bucks for it though because I bought mine for under $85 at my local sporting goods store.

I have one and use it.. Works as advertised.

I purchased. Does not work with all calibers in my CoAx - because of the height/interference with the handle.

Any other press, this seater will work perfectly.

HUGE advantage, drop the bullet in from the window!!!!

You guys got my motor running again. LOL Once my bout of omicron is over I'll put it to work.

Purchased a set a while back for some cartridges I needed a decent seating die for ( 30/378, 300 RUM etc). Used dies in the past with a collar alinemant sleeve and did not find them much good. Was really surprised with the FA die. They gave me almost as good a run-out #'s as my Forster benchrest dies and the Micrometer settings were very accurate. All in all I found this die to be a good investement. Paid mine $99 in Canada. JMO
