If you shoot long, sleek VLD bullets and want seating depth you can repeat load after load, the Redding #7 VLD Bullet Seating Micrometer is one of the simplest upgrades you can make. It swaps directly into most standard Redding seating dies that use 1/2-20 threads, taking the place of the original seat plug. The micrometer head lets you fine tune bullet seating depth in increments of one thousandth of an inch, so finding and returning to your rifle's sweet spot stops being guesswork.
The VLD seat plug is shaped to match the longer, more gradual ogive of very low drag bullets. That contact point matters, because a plug meant for a traditional bullet nose can mark or ride the tip of a VLD and throw off your consistency. This plug is cut to cradle that profile correctly, which is why handloaders chasing tight groups tend to reach for the VLD version when they're loading match projectiles.
The #7 covers a broad spread of popular precision and hunting cartridges. Think 243 Winchester, 6mm BR, 6mm PPC, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×47 Lapua, 6.5×284 Norma, 260 Remington, 25-06 Remington, 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Rem Mag, 7×57 Mauser, 284 Winchester, and more. It's a go-to size for the 6mm and 6.5mm competition crowd as well as plenty of common deer and long-range rifles.
Machined from steel alloy and hand finished, the seat plug drops in and swaps between dies without fuss, so you can move it from one caliber setup to the next as you load. Worth noting up front: this micrometer is built for standard Redding seating dies and is not meant for Redding Competition Seating Dies, which already have their own micrometer built in. Match it to the right die and you've got a clean, repeatable way to tune your ammo and squeeze a little more accuracy out of your rifle.
The #7 plug covers a wide range of 6mm, 6.5mm, and 7mm cartridges, including 243 Winchester, 6mm BR, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 260 Remington, 25-06 Remington, 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Rem Mag, 7×57 Mauser, and 284 Winchester. It threads into standard Redding seating dies that use 1/2-20 threads. If you're unsure which plug number your die uses, check the number stamped on your existing seat plug.
The VLD plug is contoured to match the long, gradual ogive of very low drag bullets, while the standard plug is shaped for traditional bullet noses. Using the VLD version keeps the plug from marking or riding on the tip of a pointed match bullet, which helps keep seating depth consistent. If you load VLD or long-ogive match bullets, the VLD plug is the one you want.
No. This micrometer is designed for standard Redding seating dies, and Competition Seating Dies already come with their own built-in micrometer. It also will not fit other brands of dies, so pair it with a compatible Redding standard die.
The micrometer head adjusts bullet seating depth in increments of one thousandth of an inch. That lets you dial in a specific seating depth and return to it exactly, which is a big help when you're load testing or chasing tighter groups. It's a direct replacement for the original seat plug, so installation is a simple swap.
