[QUOTE="woods, post: 427692, member: 6042"] There are a lot of factors that will cause inconsistant seating depth 1. Inconsistant bullet bearing surface and meplat to ogive dimensions (the Accubonds have been the worst offenders for me) 2. Differences in ID of the neck (common with unturned necks sized with bushing dies) 3. Differences in the finish of the ID of the neck which will cause different compression on your press linkages 4. More work hardening of the neck which will cause harder seating 5. Poor contact of the seating stem on the ogive of the bullet IOW, more seating pressure will cause a shallower seating depth In case you're skeptical of the inconsistancies in Accubonds, an illustration here with a couple of 200 gr Accubonds from the same box [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN1901.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN1902.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN1904.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN1905.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
