Been reloading 60 YEARS ! Some day I'am going to make my own video or publish a small booklet on tips, of which I have plenty. SEATING is extremely important to accuracy and any kind of shooting.There are very effective tips to PERFECT SEATING every time. Go to a Benchrest meet sometime, you will learn a lot.
After watching some of these videos my realize that the DVD I bought from RCBS that's probably one of the best videos I've seen on reloading if you're having problems they only run about 15 or 16 bucks at good gun shops and the information is way better than some of this stuff I'm seeing on UA-cam
You should partial seat it not completely seat it the first time. The Forster die you are using minimizes any error and makes the technique less important. If you full seat the bullet and run it back in all the die can do is try to bend the tip of the bullet over in the case neck.
I seat all of my Bullets little at a time & keep trying them in my Bolt Rifle, To make sure that the Bolt has no problems while I am loading & extracting each round in it, Before seating the bullets To where they should be etc.
How much would you gain by increasing the number of passes and decreasing the angle through which turned appropriately? i.e. three passes 120 degrees apart,. or more generally N number of passes (360/N) degrees apart. Obviously you run up against diminishing returns as N gets bigger, and it doesn't seem sensible on an empirical to increase it beyond four, but it might make for an interesting project for those with a concentricity gauge to pursue in weather too bad for shooting... and perhaps to try out in the field when that weather improves!
