458 SOCOM Redding dies?

[grinnergetter]

Setting up the seating die and have the die all the way down and backed off a smidge off the shellplate.
Having the seating stem all the way bottomed does not allow the bullet to be seated to specs? About 150 thousanths short.

Am I having a brain fart or has anyone run into this before?

Does it come with multiple seating stems like some of the pistol die sets to, and if so, do you have the correct stem in there for the bullet you're seating?

No, in fact I just thought of that. I got the set from Teppo Jutsu so I thought they would be correct.
I'm going to call Redding tomorrow.

Thanks for the idea.

Contaced Redding today and they have recieved 6 other calls to date. They are sending out a replacement stem to correct the problem.

At least it wasn't me.

That's a good feeling, glad they're making it right for you and it's figured out.
