Yes - do you know you can buy just the Micrometer? - About $25US posted to the UK - straight forward replacement.

I use Forster and Lyman Micrometer seating dies as well as the Hornady seating dies which don't have micrometer adjust but do use a bullet aligning sleeve for minimal run out.

For cast boolits which are usually oversize for the calibre and therefore don't work well (fit) these condom designed seaters I like to use the Vickerman style in line seaters as you can have these made to suit your boolit diameter.

I use Redding dies with the additional "add on" micrometer seating stem. - At £29 from Reloading solutions I thought these were a good buy.
