For me, since I load mostly JHPs, I found a flat seating plug gave vastly more consistent COAL" than the typical round nose seating plug that many come with, like from Lee Precision's.

A flat seating plug ($8) can easily be obtained from Lee by requesting SKU# 90485 on their Custom Services page (link below) & stating the caliber required.

Well maybe. I called them the other day and on LAINE in customer service, as soon as I ask her to speak up i was hearing impaired her attitude noticeable changed. Her retort, after I stated the two presses I used was I needed to buy a new press, (Lee) was what she was hinting. No help there so I am moving on. I dont need a new press and am in doubts any thing Lee sells can equal my REDDING operation.
