RCBS competion dies

I picked up a set for 223 on sale. I'm very happy with runout and sized case dimensions for the sizer; the seater is a bit gimmicky. I had excessive runout and found the floating "sleeve" doesn't sit on shoulder, but case mouth. Both can be fixed if sent back to RCBS or put in a lathe; but I don't see why I should buy new and send it in unless I'm going really custom. FYI I'm loading 69 and 77 Sierra / and Noslers.
I did find an amazing use for the seater. It is perfect for flat base bullets and varmint rounds (runout less critical, and the winowed feeder makes seating a breeze).
I picked up a Forster seater die for my 223 competition rounds.

Got the RCBS Competition Seaters for every caliber I shoot. If I can find them used, I'll pick them up and swap the guts to fit my needs. Didn't know there was anything else.
First time you crush your finger tips trying to hold a bullet in place while seating, you'll be looking for a RCBS Competition Seater to get the job done. From 17 on up to 6.8 BR (.270) and further.

And the smaller you go in caliber, the harder they are to handle.
That "side window" IS the thing.
