RCBS is never clear on this; I bought the 3 die set and I have the seating and the crimping dies. What I can find online is that if the bullet is not cannelured, then I do not need to use the crimping die, I should just seat.

Is this correct?

[fordman32508]

Now that I look at RCBS' directions again, they call them seating and expanding dies. They differ from your dies so maybe I should be using the expander to bell the case and not the powder measure. That would mean that the bullet would get seated at station 4, somehow I don't think I will sleep that well tonight. Damn early christmas presents.

5 stars on all your reloading vids, really good stuff. I started setting up my 550B this weekend your videos provided a lot of clarity that the instructions don't.

[PorterhouseV]

cool thx.

I like to set my bullet seating die without a live shell. I.e. no primer or powder. Then I use an RCBS bullet puller to disassemble.

I like your trick of removing the cotter (?) pin so you can adjust the seating die easier.

[PorterhouseV]

its easy to work your way down, but once you have gone too far your left with an improper round. its nice to be able to pull them out, but i generally just toss the round and start over. i also very rarely seat too deep. you will develop a 'feel' for how much to adjust the die after about 1000-2000 rounds.
