I hear ya Mike. I do love the window, especially for the sub calibers. I have the sleeves and seating plug for all calibers, but I really wish it was as good as most designated seaters.

The difference that I'm looking for is a sleeve that envelopes the entire top of the case, shoulder and body included, rather than the top two thirds of the neck like the RCBS Comp Seater and most standard die sets. Redding, Forster, and Whidden grab the whole cartridge, but their innards don't change out to change cartridges.

I took apart a couple hornady seaters tonight with the sliding sleeves. Only the top 50% or so of the neck is supported and the case can wiggle pretty easily. A redding comp die holds the entire neck, matches the shoulder and goes down the body a few tenths of an inch. The wiggle factor is non-existent.
