Description
If you've been chasing tighter groups and better consistency at the bench, seating depth is one of the easiest variables to get a handle on, and the Redding #7 Standard Bullet Seating Micrometer is how you take control of it. This replaces the original seat plug in your standard Redding seating die and gives you a graduated micrometer top that lets you fine tune bullet seating depth to within 1/1000th of an inch. No more guesswork with locking rings and trial-and-error turns. You dial it, you log it, and you can come right back to that exact setting next session.
The #7 is cut for standard bullet shapes, which covers most of what you'll load including polymer tipped bullets. It's machined from steel alloy, then hand finished and inspected, so the feel on the micrometer is smooth and the numbers stay repeatable load after load. The fit uses the common ½-20 thread, and it drops in as a direct swap for your existing plug, so you can move it between dies when you switch cartridges.
What the Redding #7 Micrometer Covers
This particular head is set up for a broad group of popular cartridges, including .243 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, .260 Remington, 6mm BR, 6.5-284 Norma, 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Rem Mag, 284 Winchester, and more in that bullet-diameter family. If you load several of those, one micrometer can serve all of them.
Swapping the #7 Into Your Die
Installation is about as simple as reloading gear gets. Back out your original seat plug, thread the micrometer stem in its place, and you're set to start recording repeatable depths. One thing worth knowing up front: this micrometer is built for standard Redding seating dies and is not intended for use with Redding Competition Seating Dies, since those already come with a micrometer built in. Match the number stamped on your die to the micrometer and you're good to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Redding #7 Standard Bullet Seating Micrometer fit my die?
It's designed as a direct replacement for the original seat plug in standard Redding seating dies that use a 1/2-20 thread. Just match the number stamped on your die to the micrometer, back out the old plug, and thread this one in. It's not meant for use with Redding Competition Seating Dies, which already have a built-in micrometer.
Which cartridges does the #7 micrometer cover?
The #7 head is set up for a wide family of 6mm, .25, and 7mm cartridges, including .243 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, .260 Remington, 6mm BR, 6.5-284 Norma, 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Rem Mag, and 284 Winchester, among others. If you load several of those, one micrometer can handle all of them. Always confirm the number on your specific die matches.
What's the difference between the Standard and VLD versions?
This is the Standard (STD) micrometer, shaped for traditional bullet profiles, which works for most bullets including polymer tipped designs. Redding also makes a VLD version with a seating stem cut specifically for very low drag bullets. Pick the one that matches the bullet geometry you load most.
How precise is the seating adjustment?
The micrometer lets you set seating depth to within 1/1000th of an inch, and the graduated dial means your settings are repeatable and easy to log. That takes the guesswork out of chasing a specific depth and lets you return to a proven setting without re-zeroing from scratch.
