ZotParkerProper Bullet Seaters for RCBS
I am new to reloading and, through gifts and the Cabela's bargain cave, have ended up with two RCBS presses.
I recently purchased the RCBS 3 die sets for both 9mm and .380 Auto. It appears I could've gotten off without full sets (some redundant parts).
My question has to do with the bullet seaters. The .380 came with one, labeled .38 RN. The 9mm set came with an indentical .38 RN and a 9mm TMJ.
Does this equate with anyone else's experience?
Is there a 9mm or .380 HP seater? If not, is it just a matter of using the .38 RN or 9mm TMJ that fits the particular bullet best?
Thanks
