[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1576074, member: 74902"] As others have said it has to do with slight differences in neck tensions, bullet bearing surfaces etc. Keeping your brass annealed and bullets sorted (especially ones not held to tight tolerances) helps. Then just back the micrometer on the seating die back about .005 or so for each bullet and walk the bullet to the dept you want by seating, measuring, seating .001, measuring again, etc. Your caliper is plenty accurate enough for the measurements. Just need to get a feel for it and use consistent pressure when measuring and learn to settle the bullet in the comparator. It's the quickest and cheapest route to getting to where you want. [/QUOTE]
