Hornady has sold multiple seating stems with different profiles and until past few years they weren't marked. The older unmarked VLD stem fits many different projectiles, the newer # stamped offerings seem to be tailored to their specific projectile families.
Forster's seating die seems to have the most flexibility in this regard.
thanks i passed on the a-tips for right now plan is to see how hard i can push the 130g rdf's first to give me an idea if i can push the atip fast enough to really take advantage of it in the grendel or not
