Frankford Arsenal Universal Bullet Seater Die

{"reviews":[{"id":6414188,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Very good bullet seating die","text":"Works really well for seating the bullets. On my long guns I’m careful about keeping seating depth within plus or minus 2/1000’s. This die allowing me to do that but I adjust the die each individual bullet. It’s takes slightly longer but I can end up with single digit standard deviations. The depth indicators are really helpful and I’ve found them to be very accurate. Frankford Arsenal make great products.","textLength":409,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":1,"orderId":"46222824","dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":11,"code":"VAL05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":16,"code":"DUR05","label":null,"value":5},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":21,"code":"QUAL5","label":null,"value":5}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":"Greg","lastName":"McCombs","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-03-26T23:06:21-04:00","purchaseDate":"2025-03-16T07:54:29-04:00","dateCreated":"2025-03-26T07:41:42-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"seating depth","score":0.63},{"name":"bullet alignment","score":0.61}],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"4196-1116715","title":"Frankford Arsenal Universal Bullet Seater Die","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/4196-1116715","category":"reloading-dies","reviewCount":24,"ratingCount":24,"averageRating":4.1,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":3,"2":1,"3":1,"4":4,"5":15},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6400563,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":null,"text":"This kit definitely helps speed up the reloading process.

It works well BUT....seating depth is not consistent. The 308 was the best and 223 was the worst. I think in an effort to reduce parts required for a universal seating die, FA went too far. \r\n\r\nIn the case of the 223, the seating stem contacts at the ogive location of a 17, not a 223. With all major match bullets, the bullet base to ogive dimension is very consistent within a lot. However, I have found the bullet base to other ogives (eg 17 can vary by up to .004\". This is pretty much the max variation I saw in the CBTO measurements of the loaded ammo. This could be addressed by offering caliber specific seating stems, but that would be far more parts to manufacture. Perhaps some machine shop could start making these aftermarket?\r\n\r\nI work around this by seating to a depth ~.010\" longer than desired, measuring and adjusting the die for each round. To me, this is worth it for the advantage of a universal micrometer die. \r\n\r\nI loaded some 260 with this to compare to the Redding competition seater and saw no noticeable change in runout (0.000-0.0015), so I do not think this will be an issue.\r\n\r\nFinally, I LOVE the drop through bullet feature. Especially in 223, no more pinched fingers!\r\n\r\nTo FA, I would ask that you develop and sell caliber specific seating stems. To other reloaders, I would say buy it, understand the limitations and enjoy it for what it is!\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nNick","textLength":1455,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":2,"downVotes":1,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Nick_or_Rutledge","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"WA","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2022-07-27T17:06:26-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2022-07-18T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"seating depth","score":0.71},{"name":"multi-caliber functionality","score":0.44},{"name":"stem quality","score":0.43},{"name":"caliber compatibility","score":0.46},{"name":"micrometer seating","score":0.51},{"name":"reloading precision","score":0.4},{"name":"bullet alignment","score":0.59}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Frankford Arsenal","siteUrl":"https://www.frankfordarsenal.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2708_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"4196-1116715","title":"Frankford Arsenal Universal Bullet Seater Die","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/4196-1116715","category":"reloading-dies","reviewCount":24,"ratingCount":24,"averageRating":4.1,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":3,"2":1,"3":1,"4":4,"5":15},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":1877832,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Consistent","text":"When you spend all that time processing brass you want a consistent seating depth.
