Station 3 FN seating die missing

#1 · May 2, 2013, 2:14 am

I have somehow missplaced my 9mm station#3 FN seating die. I have the 9mm RN one, but was ready to reload some plinking LFN 9mm and cannot find my seating die. I am confused on which part on line to order, there are too many choices and i am not sure what part i actually need. There is not one that just states 9mm FN seating die. Any one know which one i need. Any chance Dillon will just send me a replacement?

thanks,

Lefty

On current production dies, the seat stem is held in by a cross-pin, not threaded in. The seat stem is reversable. Pull the clip off the top of the die, the body falls out. Push out the cross pin, remove and reverse the seat stem, reinstall the cross-pin, reinsert the die body, push the retaining clip back into position.

We havent made dies with a threaded seat stem for about 20 years.

Ignore the previous post. The FN seat stem for 9mm SDB is #11302.

Lost parts are not replaced under warranty.

Wew! I am glad you posted twice, I had a Deer in the Headlight look when you discussed reversing the stem? So #11302 is what i will order, thanks
