The Redding #9 Standard Bullet Seating Micrometer (MPN 09069) is a precision drop-in replacement designed to upgrade standard Redding seating dies to micrometer-adjustable operation. By replacing the traditional #01069 / #9 solid seater plug, it integrates directly into compatible 7/8"-14 die bodies via standard 1/2"-20 threads. This purely mechanical adjustment tool features laser-engraved graduations that enable reloaders to dial in Cartridge Overall Length (COAL) and Cartridge Base to Ogive (CBTO) measurements in precise, repeatable increments without trial-and-error adjustments. The internal seating stem is specifically profiled for standard conical, round-nose, and flat-point projectiles across .30 M1 Carbine, .32 H&R Magnum, and .32-20 Winchester cartridges.
