[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 45042, member: 1622"] Nighthawk, Another possible reason for your original problem maybe overenthusiasm/inconsistency on your bullet seating downstroke on your press. I had a similar problem once and eventually found this to be the cause. It was rectified by concentrating on pulling slowly through the 'work' part of the bullet seating and then allowing the press lever to only lightly (and consistently) reach its end-stop (rather than forcing it home). I reckon that my original firm push at the end of mechanical movement must have been introducing some flex/stretch somewhere in the setup that introduced a degree of OAL inconsistency (I always measure my OAL to the ogive with a comparator). Hope that may be of help! [/QUOTE]
