	I am asking for suggestions from those shooting with fixed ammunition. I would like to go to a precision seating die, that you can change caliber and seating punches. A micrometer function would be nice, but not essential. I want precision, so economy isn't the prime consideration, maybe a good/best choice. Thanks in advance for your help. I also have two Redding T-7 turret heads for sale, complete, $150 for both plus shipping. First I want it.

	After some other suggestions on the Shiloh forum on powder compression I added the following which could be adapted to a seating situation. One other thing to note is that the pistol micrometer is 0.368 diameter so you may not need a powder compression plug at all for 38-55. And, the Lee charging adaptor kit 90995 is two die bodies (long and a short) that the micrometers also thread into. But just get the Long charging adaptor 90194 which, with the Track plug, needs no modification and the end of the plug is .290" inside the die when the mic is all the way down and 0.980 at it's zero. The 90194 long charging adaptor is only $12.99 at Midway. Pictures below are short, 45-70, and long charging dies. Note the micrometer positions and the plug positions. Charles

	I've been using the Frankford Arsenal straight line seating die. It's reasonably priced and the die body comes with sliding piston/inserts to accommodate nearly all common calibers from .22 up. I'm struck by how much it's like the old Vickerman straight line seating dies, plus it has micrometer seating depth adjustment. I've used it for .22's, 6.5mm's, and .30-06 so far and overall am rather pleased with it. (Given good brass I've come to expect runout in the .001" range. Not bad.)
