[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 195636, member: 9215"] "I notice them starting to get shorter or longer so I then have to re-adjust the die to get back to the right OAL." Ah! I see. Think you will find that the reason for tiny variations in OAL is due to the bullets, not the dies. Variations of perhaps .005" are, in the real world, exactly the same, they will have no effect on a target. So, yes, you may be getting to anal. I don't know why OAL has recently become such a puzzle for newer loaders. It wasn't a problem before the newer loading manuals started publishing the OAL they used to develop the loading data but it's no more written in stone than the powder charges they list. Annealing will have absolutely no impact on OAL consistancy. [/QUOTE]
