[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 200001, member: 8037"] It would appear that your problem lies in the seating process; the sized brass is not a problem. You are using a good seating die, so there is a tweak needed somewhere. My guess would be interference between the bullet tip and the seating plug. Mark the bullet tip with an ink marker and see where two mate. The plug can be drilled if the tip is interfering. Some polish the plug with compound and the bullet to fit. The other possibility I woukd ask about is the inside of the cartridge neck. It should be cleaned with a brush prior to the seating process. Also, chamfer the inside of the neck with a VLD (low angle) tool to assist the bullet's getting started straight. [/QUOTE]
