ShoNuffUse a sharpie to make a line from the middle of seater stem to the outer edge. Calculate the travel per turn based on the threads per inch. It ain't rocket science to adjust to one or two thousands using the line you drew.

I have the Frankford Arsenal Universal Bullet Seating Die with micrometer and get consistent results with it. Fits every caliber I own. It is easy to set up and use and makes fine tuning my seating depth a breeze.Are you getting value out of the micrometer on a seating die?
Especially on a Hornady or Forster die which uses the same die construction for micrometer and non=micrometer dies….
I have both types and sort of value the micrometer, but in a Forster die, I'm questioning why.
I recently bought one of these units. Much to my surprise, they work pretty darn good. I seated a bullet and then adjusted the dial down to .005 and it seated the bullet exactly .005 deeper.I have the Frankford Arsenal Universal Bullet Seating Die with micrometer and get consistent results with it.

I have always felt that the Lee dead length bullet seater is one of the best seating dies, if not the best, that comes in a standard die set. Just out from Lee is a micrometer attachment for these dies. I purchased one ( very well priced $20 CDN ) and found it to work great. Easy to see #'s and very accurate. Worthwhile addition for those who use them. JMO^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mic Dies are nice but I personally could care less, I can adjust my LEE seaters with the same results.
It's purely personal preference
THISMicrometer for all of MY personal loading.
When you get that 1 out of 5 rounds that is .001" too long, you know EXACTLY where to turn and reseat to get it perfect.
Yes, I am that anal about my loads.
