What dies for seating VLD bullets

[PredatorX]

What dies are you guys using for seating VLD's?

I need to buy a seating die to seat .300 win 215 berger hybrids. I don't think any seating die will work but not sure. Have been looking at the forster BR/Ultra and Redding Comp. Anything else you guys are using with success on these longer bullets?

I use LE Wilson with a VLD seating stem but this requires using an arbor press, not sure if they have a die for a press but worth looking into. I usually get my LE Wilson stuff from the gun stop online store.

I just use a Redding Die Set for 215 Bergers along with a Type S Neck Size..

Start were I know they'll be long, measure, adjust, measure, adjust til I get the length I want then lock it down. Recheck Base to Ogive about every 5 or so to make sure it hasn't moved

+1 for your needs. But I use LE Wilson dies for seating now.

I like Wilsons but redding is good too.
once you learn the trick to putting a bullet on the case before you put the die on the case wilsons are the fastest way to seat bullets.

CH4D also will make anything you can imagine when it comes to custom dies. Just giving you another option to consider

If you go with a Whidden Gunworks die you can send them the exact bullet you want the seater to match and they will make it custom for you. I did this for the 124 grain Hammer Hunter.

I can second that CH4D does excellent work.

I’ve been loading 215s with the Redding comp dies. Works great

Forster will do this also.

I use the Wilson chamber type seaters as well. As mentioned, specify VLD stem when ordering. I use the K&M arbor press. Its a great combination.

For 210 VLDs I use the Redding Comp set / seater with VLD stem.
