[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 195830, member: 12"] Measure base to ogive and with most of the SMKs you can see the .005 variance right there. That will give you the variance in COL. Bullet OAL will always vary on most bullets, but the seating die stem goes off the ogive or close to it so that is the reason to measure and sort by base to ogive. Are you getting a variance in "feel" when seating? if so might have variable neck tension that can inhibit full seating. BH [/QUOTE]
