Need a special seater screw? Make one<s>

Easier than you think, it goes like this-

Pull the seater screw out of the die and turn it "wrong side up" place the bullet you intend to use down on it and check for clearances ( what needs to be changed )

Cut a piece from a waxed cardboard milk carton and wrap it around your seating screw ( you are building a form )

Rub a bit of grease on your sample bullet so nothing sticks.

Mix up a bit of epoxy ( I used Bondo ) and dab it onto the nose of your seating screw.

Place your sample bullet down onto the seating screw and hold it there until the epoxy sets up.

Remove your "form" and set the screw aside for 24 hours.

Thats it<s> it should work for quite a while if you aren't too rough on it.
