Redding Reloading Equipment
The Redding #23 VLD Bullet Seating Micrometer transforms your standard reloading setup into a precision competition tool. Built for handloaders who demand consistency, this micrometer accessory lets you convert compatible seating dies to deliver repeatable seating depth control—measured to within 1/1000th of an inch. Whether you're chasing sub-MOA groups at the range or fine-tuning loads for long-range hunting, precise bullet seating is one of the few variables you can truly master at the bench. The #23 is designed specifically for seating plugs with ½-20 threads, making it a direct upgrade if your current die matches.
Competition handloaders and precision shooters know that tiny variations in bullet seating depth cascade into group size differences downrange. This micrometer gives you the feedback and control to dial in a repeatable depth, then hold it shot after shot. The interchangeable design means you're not locked into one die—match the number on your seating plug to the corresponding micrometer number, and you can move it between dies as your reloading lineup grows. It's the kind of investment that pays dividends if you're serious about accuracy.
Setup is straightforward for anyone already comfortable with reloading dies. If you're new to competition loading or upgrading from basic seating dies, take time to learn the correct procedure—precision tools demand precision technique. Redding publishes a micrometer reference chart to help you identify compatible plugs and micrometers; cross-reference your current seating die before ordering to ensure the #23 fits your setup.
| Brand | Redding |
| Product Type | Bullet Seating Micrometer |
| Model | #23 VLD |
| Compatible Plug Type | ½-20 threads |
| Measurement Precision | 1/1000th inch |
| Interchangeable | Yes, between compatible dies |
The #23 is designed for seating plugs with ½-20 threads. You'll need to match the number on your existing seating plug to the corresponding micrometer number. Redding publishes a micrometer reference chart to help identify compatible combinations. Check that chart before purchasing to confirm compatibility.
VLD (very low drag) bullets are sensitive to seating depth changes. A micrometer seating die lets you dial in and repeat a specific depth to within 1/1000th of an inch—far more precise than conventional seating dies. This consistency supports tighter groups and more predictable downrange performance, especially at distance.
Yes, the #23 is designed to be interchangeable. As long as another seating die has a plug with the matching number, you can transfer the micrometer between them. This makes it a flexible upgrade if you reload multiple cartridges.
The product is the micrometer seating assembly itself. Your existing seating die and compatible seating plug are required for use. Refer to Redding's product documentation and reference chart for setup and compatibility details.
