[JMC]

I recently purchased two, one in .45-70 and one in 9mm Luger.

To be brief, they are great. I intend to order another in .40S&W shortly.

I use mine in a manner that one of the Redding techs suggested after I could not figure out how to return the mic to "0" after adjustment.
After I get my setting for a particular bullet, I write it down. I keep this slip of paper in the die box. Then, I can adjust the micrometer up or down from there according to bullet style/length, etc. A simple check with a digital caliper to be sure and your done.

I intend to start a small log book just for this procedure. Between myself, my son and son-in-law, we load 4 different 9mm bullets alone. This will make the process much easier and faster.

For the 9mm I was using the Dillon seating die and did not care for the trial and error method of bullet seating that it affords. The Redding die works very well in the 550B press.

No more turning, guessing and numerous adjustments as to COL!

Midway had the best price when I bought my 2 dies. The list is $75.00 and they get, I believe, $51.99 w/shipping.
