[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2295604, member: 116181"] It sounds like you're on the edge of a very deep rabbit hole... unless of course you're already down here, in which case welcome to the other side of the looking glass. If you don't want to jump in here, then yes just set the abnormal ones (be that hard or soft) aside and use as foulers, or intentionally shoot them together to see if this is something that shows up on your target. If you want to jump in, I would suggest that you watch the entire AMP Press demo video in this link. I'm not saying you have to buy an AMP press, but because he uses an electronic sensor he can show a computer screen report that traces seating pressure. A K+M Force Pack does a similar thing, but it's harder to actually show in real time: [URL]https://www.ampannealing.com/amp-press/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw18WKBhCUARIsAFiW7JxDjhCZUPx3pGawitJvjRxHnWhtOFR-Kqo74aKzYztdhPq9up0YvnkaAgaHEALw_wcB[/URL] Unless you are already doing several of things people holler "that's not necessary" about as reloading steps (turning, annealing, mandrel expanding, use a bushing/honed die, pin gauge your necks, arbor press and inline seating, use custom barrels, own your own reamer, etc) I'm not sure chasing this down is where to best spend your money, time, and energy to solve right now versus upgrading other parts of your process. But yes, variable seating pressure is real, it makes an impact on target, and can be quantified through a variety of measuring tools. [/QUOTE]
