Bullet breach seating tool
Bullet breach seating tool
A while back I requested information on where I could find a bullet breach seating tool.Some one responded with a name and phone number of a fellow in Colorado that makes them.I missplaced the number.
Can someone please help
I know these are used more in Scheutzen matches, but they also work good most all of our shooting.

The fellow I know about is:
Scott Ross
P.O. Box 263
Chester, MT 59522
His safety cartridge seater is (was) $30. 59522 doesn't sound like the right ZIP code for MT does it?? I would bet the ZIP for MT starts with a "9".
His user ID here on the forum is Longrider, maybe he will chip in and tell us if all this info is correct.

Randy> I have used them before with the .32-40, but it went with the rifle.
The scheutzen boys favor them, and they are a boost if you paper patch.It gives you the extra volume for the lube and card wads with out giving up the room for the powder charge.
I can use a 85+ grain 2f charge in the .40-70 if I feel the need.and just short of 100 gr in the .45-90.

A Fellow Shooter once made up one for my Win M1885, .32-40 WCF . (Don’t ask me where it is or what happened to the bullet seater. Things did disappear when we moved inter-state.)
IIR, he took one of my fired cases, drilled & tapped the primer pocket to accept a length of threaded rod, which he then soldered in place. Next he took a section of Delrin or fiberglass dowel, turned it to fit the case mouth, drilled & tapped it to accommodate the threaded rod, then cut a screw driver slot in the other end. By turning the section of Delrin/fiberglass dowel in/out, I was able to adjust the amt. of seating depth.
I’ve also seen some made up w/ the in/out adjustment @ the primer pocket end.
A little bit of adjustment went a long way & I needed to keep the .32-40’s throat/chamber scrupulously clean to ease the bullet into the rifling w/o too much resistance. Was a 1st Class PITA w/ BP, easier w/ a duplex load, & the easiest w/ Nitro/White powder.
I’ve also seen Shooters just make up a “plug case”. Take a section of wood, fiberglass or whatever dowel that fits the case mouth & by trial & error (probably more error) trim the dowel to a length that gives you a satisfactory seating depth.
The only one that I’ve ever seen for a Sharps M1874 was a toggle-link design that fit into the breech block mortise. The Shooter told me for a large dia & heavy bullet, he needed something w/ a little more leverage than what was provided by the breech block lever to seat the .45 cal. bullet.
