[QUOTE="jmden, post: 790451, member: 1742"] Weighing every charge carefully, of course? Try changing primers. The micrometer seating plug (these are also designated as 'VLD' or 'standard', so make sure you have the VLD style or this can cause erratic seating depths) is designed to be used in conjunction with a seating depth checker, Davidsons being a good one. I seat the 300g Berger with a Forstner micrometer die, but I still get some inconsistencies that have to be measured with the Davidsons seating depth checker and then the micrometer seating plug turned a bit to adjust so they are all consistent based off the DAvidsons seating depth checker measurement. U seat them all 5 or 6 thou long, measure, then adjust each one down from there. The plug shouldn't be 'glued'--that's no better than a non-micrometer plug at that point and that's not what a micrometer plug is for. I would suggest Shawn Carlock's: [I]Reloading for Long Range Hunting[/I] [url=http://www.defensiveedge.net/products/reloading%20dvd/reload.htm]Defensive Edge Products[/url] [/QUOTE]
