[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1754085, member: 95733"] Frogforaday, You are indeed correct I didn't state if I had trimmed the brass or not becuase I did my prep on this new brass about 5-6 months ago and had a reload sheet with them and in the part where I list if i trimmed or not I had not listed any information as my choices are yes trimmed or no trimmed and I had not checked either so I can not be sure until I measure a few of the still unused buy fully prepped cases. But what has me perplexed and wondering how the bullets could be seated crooked as I had considered this could be the issue was once I spotted the bulge I used the two other bullet seaters I have one by Lee, the third a RCBS and the original my Redding and still after using the two other bullet seaters the bulge persisted. Now admittedly I should have done this: I have more Hornady new brass from the same lot# and after a full prep use strictly RCBS, Lee, and Redding dies from start to finish by seating a bullet and see if the bulge still persists in all pieces, then I think it would indicate the brass as the most likely suspect for my problem, and if only in one particular die then it's likely the die. But I have not had the time to do so as I work a butt load of OT and I had to use my spare time to get another rifle ready for my son to use and also arrange clothing for us to use as it's going to be not bitter cold but cold enough (teens at sunrise highs for the days at or slightly above freezing) to require considerable clothing to do all day sits like I always do during opening weekend of gun season.
