California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
The .223 non-micrometer die arrived today. Disassembled it and the .30-'06 micrometer die. Because of the differences in the diameters of the seating stems, which requires the purchase of a new seating stem, spindle lock nut, micro head, and micro body, in addition to the aforementioned die chamber and sleeve, the conversion is far from economically sensible.
Forster's two different seating stem diameters is the conversion bug-a-boo.
The sizer die is quite spiffy, in that the expander is located far up the stem and requires little press handle effort to pass through the neck, compared to when the expander is located just above the decapping pin. Only tested one case, but its neck measured a tight .223".
