    Lee 358-158-RNFP vs. RCBS 38-150-SWC

    I'd like to know how many thousandths from bullet base to the top of the crimp groove for these two. Maybe I haven't looked in the right places yet, but I haven't found what I'm looking for. I want to know how deeply each one seats into the case. I suspect the RCBS SWC seats a little deeper, but I'd like to know for sure, and by how much.

    Anyone who has these molds, if you could give me a quick caliper measurement of each--bullet base to top of crimp groove--I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I don't have the RCBS but the Lee 158RNFP measurement you want is .351 by my count. Regards Stephen
