    Vickerman vs Meacham straight line seating dies

    I'm considering buying one of these types of dies and I wonder if there's any significant difference between the two. I know Meacham advertizes no case belling necessary. Is Vickerman the same? Thanks.

    I use both Meacham and Vickerman and do not bell any cases, just deburr and chamfer like normal, I use a 1 Vickerman for all my .30 cals. (.300 whisper, 30/30, .30 br., .308,.30/06), this is of course for cast boolits.

    I have both Redding and Vickerman in .45 and .40. I use the Redding. I could seat with a light chamfer but prefer a slight bell.
