At the suggestion of some on the Forum here, I picked up a Forster Comp Seater to compare bullet runout against my Redding Comp Seater.
With Redding, you screw the die into the press until the sleeve compresses against the shellholder/into the die all the way,
then back off a few thousandths for clearance.
Forster also has the sliding sleeve, but instructs me to screw the die down anywhere from "...two-five more turns..." after the sleeve first contacts the shellholder.
Normally I'd think setting up to run the sleeve as deep as possible as seating takes place would be to my advantage.
