Neal Rice made mechanical seaters for Stevens 44 1/2. They were a work of art. Unfortunately, Neal has passed.

I like Russ’s seaters also. I have 6 of them. I use them on several calibers.

I once called CPA to ask about a breech seating tool and Paul himself tolf me he used two plugged cases, one to get it started and another to seat it to the desired depth.  I put wooden dowels in my empty 25/35 brass and it worked great for about 50 cents invested.  I figured if it was good enough for Paul that it sure as the heck was good enough for me!  Tom
