Following the set up on the instruction sheet for the Forster Ultra Match seating Die. Screw die down to shell holder. Adjust seating stem to approximate seating depth. Then Use micrometer for desired depth.
I'm seating Sierra 52 grain SMK's Lyman manual calls for seating depth of 0.148 for COAL 2.25.
Using the proceedure I get a depth of 0.135 for an COAL of 2.25.
Am I'm doing somehting wrong?
2nd question, when changing to 69 grain SMK's do I have to reset the seating stem then reset the micrometer to the desied depth.?
These dies are new to me so forgive me if I seem dense.
TIA
