Frankford Universal Seating Die

[Sasquatch]

Since I've found more ways to spend time in the reloading shop with my newfound appreciation of seating depth being a major factor, I'm looking into a 'precision' seating die. Precision dies are stupid expensive- like $100/caliber.

I am intrigued by the Frankford Arsenal die- usually around $80, but on sale on Amazon for $60. And- it does any seating from 223 to 3-something. For me, my rounds I load for precision are .223, 308 and 300 BO, so I'm covered- and not dropping $300 on dedicated dies.

Has anyone given it a try?

got one still sitting in the box. i might see how well it does against my RCBS dies as i’m getting +/-.001 variation with bergers, and +/-.003/4 with nosler accubond long range.

oh and the frankford seating die does up to 33cal.

I got it (that was fast!) and did some test dummy loads with it. I've been working on a 300BO load with some oddball bullets and was getting COAL and CBTO variance with the lee seating die. This thing was spot-on. So far so good. I'll try 308 soon.
