If you shoot 6.5 Creedmoor and you're serious about load development, this is the seater that benchrest and PRS crowds keep reaching for. Instead of the case and bullet pushing up into a conventional die, the Wilson chamber-type design holds your case stationary in a chamber that mimics your rifle's while the stem presses the bullet straight down. Everything stays aligned before any pressure is applied, which is exactly why these dies have a reputation for producing some of the straightest, lowest-runout ammo around. Machined from solid stainless bar stock, the fit between the stem and body is tight enough to pull a vacuum, and that precision shows up on the target.
The difference between this and the standard model is the seating stem. The VLD drift is reamed with a steeper internal angle so it grips lower on the ogive, which is what you want when you're loading long, pointy bullets like Berger VLDs, hybrids, and ELD-style projectiles. Gripping farther down the profile keeps the bullet tracking true with the neck and avoids leaving a ring or deforming the tip. If your 6.5 Creedmoor diet leans toward high-BC match bullets, this stem earns its keep.
The micrometer head adjusts seating depth infinitely with .001" between graduations, and the scale is laser engraved so it stays readable for the long haul. Big changes are handled by the 3/8"-24 threads in the cap, while the micrometer handles the fine tuning. That makes it easy to toss in your range bag and chase your chamber's sweet spot for jump or jam right there at the bench.
These seaters are designed to run in an arbor press, which gives you real feel for seating force on every round. It's made in the USA and built to hold tight tolerances for years of consistent handloading.
This model ships with the VLD drift seating stem instead of the standard stem. The VLD stem is reamed with a steeper angle so it contacts the bullet lower on the ogive, which helps it seat long, high-BC bullets without leaving a ring or deforming the tip. Everything else about the die, including the stainless body and micrometer top, is the same.
An arbor press is the recommended way to run it and gives you the best feel for seating force on each round. You can technically seat bullets with a soft-faced mallet in a pinch, but a small arbor press makes the process smoother and more consistent. Many precision loaders pair it with a K&M or Sinclair arbor press.
Yes. While it was originally designed for secant-ogive VLD bullets, the stem also works well with hybrid and tangent designs that have longer ogives. If you're loading match bullets in 6.5 Creedmoor, it covers most of what you'll run.
The micrometer head reads in .001" graduations, so you can fine-tune seating depth in small, repeatable steps. Larger adjustments are made using the 3/8"-24 threads in the cap, then the micrometer handles the final tuning. This makes it easy to chase your optimal COAL during load development.
