Has anyone seen this and, if so, what are your thoughts?

Frankford Arsenal - Universal Bullet Seating Die

On the one hand, it is very intriguing as it might make having a suite of caliber specific Bullet Seaters unnecessary. On the other, it may be good for hunting quality but may fall short in the pursuit of accuracy.

Took me a little searching, but I found it again. There is a thread on this in the reloading section with a couple members chiming in about their positive experiences

I have one as does a friend, and we have tested it against our inline Reddings and RCBS seating dies for run out, they work super.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your responses. I find it to be intriguing and wanted to know what others thought.

I have one. Works pretty good. Nice to have the different seating stems. Doesn't like short cases with small bullets. 223 with 55 or 52gr. Always seems to damage the case.

How are the VLD seating stems for use with VLD/ELD bullets, does anyone have experience with these bullets using this product?

I load Bergers annd Secnars with no issues in my 6mmBR and the .223's

Thank you for the info.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, there are no dents or rings created on the VLD/ELD bullet surface like some regular seating dies can create?
