[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 678813, member: 21375"] A lot of good discussion on this thread. The OP claimed he is using Berger 115 grain bullets. These are the VLD design and are longer than standard hunting bullets in the same weight. Make sure your seat die has enough clearance in the seat cup to grap the bullet on the ogive and does not bottom out on the tip of the bullet.

In my case I was loading the Ballistic Tip bullets not the Bergers but the same issue may be true with your die if you are having accuracy issues. It's already been stated a concentricity gage is a great tool to use to ferret out these kinds of issues and improve you loading techniques. The Lee Collet Neck Die rules ... :) [/QUOTE]
