Bakerjd Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I'm using the Lyman Pro micrometer adjustable die set for 9mm and am having a very hard time dialing the seating die it to where its consistent. My OAL is 1.128", or well that's what I'm trying to get. When I check OAL I have anywhere from 1.126-1.130. Am I over analyzing it or should I be able to get better results? I've read a few threads about the Redding Micrometer adjustable seating die and people have said to remove the spring inside the die. I havent ever seen the Redding one in person to know how similar they are but the Lyman has a "floating" seating stem with a spring and I'm wondering if my results would improve if I remove the spring.

This helps me make many decisions! Edited September 16, 2021 by Farmer Sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This helps me make many decisions! Just did, and it is really, really small...I would not worry at all about such minute deviations..... The thickness of a post-it note....

Bakerjd Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 So what yall are saying is this high of a variance is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
