[QUOTE="zane243, post: 905618, member: 73066"] So I spoke to the maker and he assured me that I can rule out bedding and action screw torque as the issue due to the aluminum pillar bedding system they use. I made a mistake in my first post, the twist is 1:8. I confirmed that physically yesterday. I'll seat my last 8 rounds 4x.08 & 4x.10 and test them. I also got my hands on some 140g vlds to try. If I don't see improvement I'll be looking at either LR accubonds, smk or scenars. Interested to hear opinions on those if you've used them. On the vlds I did find a video yesterday from berger talking about how redding have made a seating die with a micrometer designed for vlds due to people having issues with their dies not seating consistently due to the length of the ogive on their bullets. My lee dies do leave a faint ring around the bullet which is described in the video as the least concerning of two issues when seating vlds. The other issue mentioned is the die contacting the top of the bullet which mine does not do. Does anyone have thoughs on this? Could the lee dies I'm using be part of my problem? [/QUOTE]
