The RCBS MatchMaster Micrometer Adjustable Seating Die delivers precision bullet seating control that competitive shooters and handloaders demand. This advanced seating die eliminates guesswork with its micrometer adjustment system, allowing repeatable seating depth changes in 0.001-inch increments.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard seating dies that require trial-and-error adjustments, the MatchMaster features a built-in micrometer thimble that provides exact, measurable adjustments. The floating bullet guide aligns bullets perfectly before seating, reducing runout to less than 0.002 inches. This precision construction ensures consistent cartridge overall length (COL) shot after shot, critical for accuracy in precision rifle competition and long-range shooting.
Key Features
- Micrometer adjustment system with 0.001-inch increments for precise seating depth control

The MatchMaster excels in competitive shooting environments where ammunition consistency directly impacts scores. Match shooters rely on this die to maintain identical seating depths across hundreds of rounds, while hunters appreciate the ability to fine-tune loads for different bullet weights without starting over. The robust steel construction withstands the forces of repeated use, maintaining calibration even after thousands of rounds.
