I'm waiting on my SCAR 20s to show up and could use some advise on dies.
Is there much value in a seating die with micrometer seating adjustment when we're limited to mag size ?
Also Bushing type S-dies for controlled neck sizing. It's this a wast of time on the the type of rifle I'm feeding ?
Any die recommendations?
Thanks for any and all input.
 
The micrometer seating die is nice when you're doing load development. Once you settle on a load/seating depth I don't see any difference. I use the type S dies for bolt guns, but I'd prefer a standard FL sizing die for semi's. Maybe one from forster with a custom mandrel to your specs. It's not expensive. The redding S die may not completely size the neck, if I recall. Someone more knowledgeable than myself is sure to chime in.
