Buy one and get rid of three or four
Well. I pulled the trigger. Hoping it’ll be here before I get off hitch next week.
Could be a couple weeks judging from their email they just sent me
What did it say? I was about to order one but may hold off for a little bit
I ordered a dasher die on last Monday and it shipped on Wednesday. It was in stock though so if they’re out of stock I’m not sure on wait times.
May be worth a call to see what’s going on?
They're also very responsive to email - I hit reply on my order confirmation and I had an answer the next day.
I wish I had seen this thread before I bought dies for two new calibers recently. 
I’ve been checking SAC every few days to see if the 6.5 resizing die will return to being In Stock. I’ve got the seating die and it’s very nicely.
I asked when the 6.5 resizing die backorders would be filled. Mark responded it would be about 6 weeks.
Been waiting on mine since 11/3, at least there is light in the tunnel now.
Anybody running this seating die on a Forster Co-Ax ? I have ran mine on the Co-Ax and cannot get any better than .0015 runout. My Redding Comm seaters get everything within .0007 or better. This die needs to be better than that for the cost. Hoping it will be better on the Zero Press once it’s delivered, have to wait until mid March or so for that though. If anyone has any feedback would be appreciated. Could be I am doing something wrong to run it in the Co-Ax...
Thanks...
Thanks...
Dial indicator that reads 0.0005.
Thats your TIR or actual runout?? And if your dial reads in 0.0005 increments then it cant read .0007, the next line would be .001
Did you measure your bullet seating depth consistency?? That was the biggest thing that stood out to me with The Seating Die vs all the others. 0.001 runout is excellent and you arent shooting any different. I think .001 is what they advertise as well. But the seating depth consistency from round to round was unbelievably consistent.
Your post above just said .0015 now it's .002-.0025????
I've tested 200+ on my concetricity garage and I get .001 or less TIR....which means actual runout is half that....
I have the bullet seating die and it's very consistent within 0.0005 (Berger 109s)
I use it on a Forster Co-ax, as well.

Most everything is running + .003 total divid by 2 is .0015, the best this has given me is .0010 to .0015 each direction And it’s not constant. We are certainly splitting hairs here, but my Redding die produces everything under .001 total. So if the best this thing can do is .001 then it is certainly not worth the $300.00.....
‘If I could get the die to do what yours is doing I would be very satisfied.
How are you sizing your brass. The sizing has just as much to do with runout as the seater
Ya for sure... All my sizing is spot on, spin the case alone and get less than .001 total runout, and shoulders are bumped within .0005 of each other. I do have a very good system in place for sizing brass. Maybe one of the internals on the die is not quite right, hell I don’t understand why it’s happening when all my other stuff works great.
Bushing or FL sizing die? Measuring ID and OD of case neck?? What bullet? Measuring bullet by itself??
SAC bushing die. I have dummy rounded up 110 A-Tips, Sierra 107’s, Berger 109’s, and 115 Dtac’s. All are producing very similar results. I did all of these to see if there was a difference or if a particular bullet was the issue, but end result is the same.
