    Help needed. Dimensions of the seater plug in a Lee Seating Die in 45/70

    I am looking into making a seater plug for wide flat nosed bullets. But I am away at work and do not have access to my reloading dies.

    Is there anybody with this die available that could take some quick measurements for me?

    I need the diameter of the plug, the diameter of the flange, the thickness of the flange and the overall length.

    Any assistance would be much appreciated

    There are 3 different OD’s on the one in my die and my measurements are slightly different than above. I posted photos in your thread on THR.

    You can order a custom seater plug from Lee for about $18 shipped. Look on their website.

    @jmorris I found your pictures very helpful after a quick tutorial on how to read a caliper set for inches Thanks a lot

    I know I can order one from Lee's website, but their lead time is 4 weeks and I live in Norway. So I recon the shipping will be a bit more!
