[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 3025264, member: 116439"] If you have an "AI cartridge" and only want to neck size with a bushing probably would not matter, but you still would need to get a FL sizer for your "AI" after a number of firings. This is the same question as to why you need a special "AI Seater" die opposed to like stated a .243 win or a .243 win AI.. Is it that critical to have a Seating Die cut to the shoulder to seat the bullet??? I have asked this question to a major Custom Die Maker. for example, how much of a difference from the .338LM Micro Seater Die opposed to the .338LMAI Micro Seater Die? The .338LM Micro Seater Die cost is $157.69 + Tax and the .338LMAI Micro Die is $241.91+ Tax. They are same die unless they cut the seating die to a AI shoulder, but when seating a bullet it is measured from the CBTO. Extra charge of $84.22 + tax. I know PRS shooters that have 6br, 6brai, 6dasher sizer dies and use a 6BR Seater for all three. Do Die Manufactures just charge you more for a "Custom" package and make your custom Sizer and then put a Standard(Micro) Seater in it???? [/QUOTE]
