J. Station 4 – How to deter-
mine the proper seating
depth:
Before installing and adjusting the seating
die you’ll need to know how to determine
the proper seating depth. How far the bullet
is seated into the case will determine the
overall length (OAL). Several factors go into
determining the proper OAL – such as, the
maximum recommended OAL, listed in the
reloading manual, and the type of bullet
being loaded. The type of bullet can deter-
mine the OAL by one of two ways. If the
bullet has what is called a cannelure, FIG
113, this will determine the proper OAL.
