Some seating dies have a sliding alignment sleeve that helps align the bullet with the cases neck as the case enters the die. These sleeves also extend below the bottom of the die until the case enters them and starts to push them up into the die along with the case and bullet. The chance of pinched fingers is greatly reduced with these dies, which include Redding Competition series and all Forster and Hornady seating dies. RCBS Competition and Gold Medal series seating dies are of the old Vickerman style, where the bullet is inserted through a window in the side of the die, also reducing the chance of pinching fingers.
