    This. The seater plug fixed in place with the o-ring is just genius. Easy to change seat depth for different bullets and it holds its setting. But it’s Lee so many overlook it. Fools.

    Go with a press you can bench mount. It will save a lot of frustration. This looks okay and the price is easy.

    Revolver bullet nose length?

    When ordering a custom mold, what clearance do you allow between the bullet nose and overall cylinder length? I wouldn’t think a bullet nose even with the forward end of the cylinder is desired...

    I use the Magma recommended measure top of die to bullet base with bullet grooves aligned with the die hole(s). This gets you a start measurement for punch adjustment. Once fine tuned I’d document...
