If they could figure out a seating die that measured from the bullet ogive to case base that would be awesome but I think it's actually not possible since there is so much variance from lot to lot, mfg. to mfg. I'd also like a powder drop that could actually meter extruded kernels well. I have the 3BR and the only thing it will throw consistently are sperical kernels.
Seating a bullet from the ogive wouldn't be difficult at all actually. You just need a seating stem that is .300 diameter for 308 for example. They probably don't do it because it would require a pretty long stem to accommodate the VLD bullets, which might call for a longer die. They would most likely have to retool for every caliber, and that can get quite costly. As far as the powder drop goes, I know of no fail safe powder drop for cylindrical powders, since the volume taken up by the powder can be variable based on how it sits in the chamber. Trickling is the only solution.
Yeah, sort of. But think of the pure luxury of just being able to dial it in... Probably way too expensive in practice, and might even need a different thread size, but I think it would be cool.
Neil Jones looks like he has them. I have some of his standard dies but have not used his micrometer adjustable size die.
FULL LENGTH SIZING DIES
I didn't know about those. Clever way they've got it working. I may have to pick that up next time I get a new rifle.
They have new micro adjustable taper crimp dies for 223,308,9mm,10mm,45acp... And the new "master hunter" die set which contains standard full sizing die and a comp seating die for $200... Also imperial bio green case lube (plant based lube)
