Hornady Click Adjustable Seater

[Kracken McGraw]

Also you can buy just the micrometer assembly from Forester. So you can turn your forster non micrometer adjust benchrest dies into the full thing



I have the click ring, Not really a fan in the setup I use it for. It's weakness is when using it coupled with a quick change die bushing. You have to back off the bushing before you can adjust the ring. And at that point you might as well just save a bunch of money and go with skips shims.

I'll admit that my ignorance played a part in my dissatisfaction. It wasn't until I had the click ring in hand and setup did I realize the flaw in my usage plan.

I went ahead and ordered one of the Hornady click micro. No other reason than wanting to try the click feature and being a new product.
Brownell’s has the seaters by themselves if you look hard enough. I got one for the 6.5 Creedmoor and a 6gt( I think this one will work for my 6BR, fingers crossed), they were about $25 each and they have free shipping on $49+ orders.

I'd be interested to hear reports on how it performed when moving the click adjuster back and forth between different seating dies. If it is relatively easy to swap out and repeatable measurement wise, it would be a good buy if you already have 3 or more hornady seaters.

They are very easy to install. Just take off the old one and put in the new one.

I received my setup today and already a fan. I just tried it on some 6BR dummy rounds and it worked slick. Since these seaters crimp, you take a case and run it up to full stroke. Then you screw die down to touch case, then back out die 1 turn( I do more to get etched numbers back in front) lock die down here. Now seater is ready to start down to your long start length. Each click is very very close to a thousandth.
Hornady seating die # that works for the 6br is#044183 and this one says 6mm Creedmoor. For some reason 243Win and 6mm REM have a different number die.
Basically you just take original stem out and hand tighten new click adjustment in. Swapping out dies should be a breeze.

I should also mention the 6mm seater came with only one regular seating stem and the 6.5 Creedmoor die came with both the regular and eld stem. Neither seater is marked in any way with caliber, it is just on the packaging. I preferred to not use the rubber washer when adding the click adjuster micro top.

Just another FYI on this deal. The 6mm stem that came with the seater above is #397103 which is the amax- Eldm seater stem.
