[QUOTE="Cholla, post: 2745830, member: 124288"] I picked up 100 .284/175 Speer Grand Slams at a local gun show. Back in the 1980s, they were highly touted as being a great bullet. (The plastic boxes look like those I had back then.) I was excited about loading some up for hunting but in measuring them from the case base to the ogive after seating, they are not consistent at all. I assume the bullets were not made consistent in ogive shape so my seater is hitting the bullet at different locations. I was going to research if Speer made a specific seating die for the GS, but now I see Speer stopped making them. Now I think I would be better off pulling them and going to something else. Anyone had this experience? [/QUOTE]
