[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 498874, member: 1521"] bassin93, you should go back to BOSS & Kevins earlier posts, and read them carefully. bigsal5353, no you should not allow rounds to be off a few thousandths as measured at the ogives. You really need to determine the problem. This is because most barrels are accuracy sensitive to distance from ogive to lands. It's fairly critical.. It is either your: measurement press seater plug to bullet neck tension brass fit to die You might try Sinclair's 'NUT' type comparator. I found it more consistent than caliper attachments. hand check to make sure the bullet tips are not bottoming out in the seater plug. If your seating pressure is too high, your neck sizing too much. Makes sure the case will insert fully by hand, without interference. [/QUOTE]
