Abstract: A bullet-seating die for precisely loading a bullet into a cartridge case is disclosed. In embodiments, the bullet die comprises: a die body; a bullet-nose-alignment stem configured to engage and center a front end of a bullet within the die body before and after bullet seating begins; a bullet-seating-depth-adjustment screw adjustable to control seating depth of the bullet in a cartridge case; a bullet-seating collet configured to surround an ogival portion of the bullet that will engage the rifling when the loaded cartridge is fired; a bullet-seating collet bushing configured to positively center the bullet-seating collet in the die body; a case-shoulder-alignment bushing configured to positively center a front end of the cartridge case, the bullet-nose-alignment stem, and the bullet-seating collet bushing along the axis of the die body during bullet seating; and a case-base-alignment bushing configured to positively center a base of the cartridge case in the case-shoulder-alignment bushing.
