UniqueTek bullet seating stems for Dillon dies
I just ordered the SWC/WC seating stems from UniqueTek for both .38 Special and .45 ACP. Does anyone here have any experience with using them? Seems like an inexpensive fix.

It seemed silly to not locate off the shoulder of swc bullets.
They work great for me.

Great! I figured that between Photo Escape's PTUs and these seater stems I should pretty well eliminate bullet misalignment and lead shaving during the seating process - especially when loading HBWC bullets for my Model 52.
Thanks for the input.

I don't think its designed for full wadcutters though. I would buy an insert designed for full WC 38.

According to UniqueTek, it's supposed to work equally well with full wadcutter (FWC) bullets. I'll give it a try and see how it works. In any event, I load .38 LSWC bullets as well as FWCs so it won't be money wasted. It's going to be a while though since I just loaded a batch of wadcutters.

They also work well for wadcutters albeit I've never had any problem with Dillon Precision's standard wadcutter seating stems. All in all, they are a good product.

I had a minor amount of lead shaving on my last batch of wadcutters using the standard Dillon seater. However, I didn't have the PhotoEscape PTU installed then so it may have eliminated the shaving altogether. Good to know that the UniqueTek seater will work on FWCs. Thanks.
