Received my Hornady 38/357 seater and crimper die today. I really like the bullet seating sleeve assembly- it extends out of the bottom of the die and contacts the bullet to begin aligning it with the case as it enters the base of the die. This made the die a little more forgiving if the bullet wasn't perfectly aligned. In my first trial- seating 148 gr. DEWC- I got minimal variance in OAL and a consistent crimp. I only loaded 50 rounds and set up for one bullet type, but if all my results are this good- I won't be using either my RCBS seater/crimper die or my Lee FCD in the future for 38/357.
