[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1157752, member: 5302"] Mine are all different across makes and have a small spread within a make for a given caliber. My Bonanza, RCBS and Wilson seater dies' stems all have threads and are moveable. 1/4-28 threads on Bonanza and RCBS. That's your idea and a good one. So you take the lead and measure all of yours then post them. Then I'll list mine for the same calibers I have after I measure them. Then all can compare them. Might want to list bullet chamber and seater stem body diameters for each to compare their diameters. There's quite a spread in clearance stems have to the bullet chamber across all makes. I mentally mixed up my seater die's chamber diameters between 308 Win and 30 caliber magnums. My seven 30 caliber bullet seaters bullet chamber diameters at the mouth juncture: Wilson BR chamber type .308, circa 1966;.3105" RCBS standard .308, circa 1966; . . . . . . .3100" RCBS standard .308, circa 1979; . . . . . . .3115" RCBS competition .308, circa 1980's; . . . .3107" RCBS standard .300 Win Mag, circa 1999, .3104" RCBS standard .30-.338, circa 1967, . . . .3102" Bonanza BR .30-.338, circa 1980; . . . . . .3093" 30 caliber bullet diameters I've measured go from .3070" to .3092".
