My .44-100 Rem St.

Bruce I think in their mind it's a extra step they have to go through and time factor. There is plenty of time during the long range matches and I have considered doing it but I been getting along fine just loading the cartridge. If I just had a lesser capacity case like the .45-70 or a .40-65 where I would like to add more powder for the long range I would use the tool.
I used a palm seater before I had Russ make a camming tool for me so I could seat a groove diameter PP with out distorting the bullet base like the palm seating tool has a tendency to do. A palm seater will seat a GG well enough but again the bullet can get pushed in the bore not straight like one seated with a lot of runout in a case.
