seating

Hi all, apologies if this has been discussed before but I'm having some issues seating my 9mm bullets perfectly straight into cases when i get moving too fast on the press, I want to go faster and keep the same level of quality. I read into the redding seater die and the M die, both are...

Hey folks, I use Hornady dies pretty much exclusively, and always (eventually) splurge for the micro-adjust seating stem add-on. It makes it SO much easier to go back and forth between different bullets, tweak the seating depth just so, etc. I just got new dies for .45acp, so of course I...
