[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1599313, member: 101859"] If you have a good micrometer, measure the shank of your bullet in different places. Its not uncommon to have a ring right at the boat tail that measures .0002-.0005 larger than the rest of the shank. This acts like an expander mandrel in the neck as you seat the bullet. You dont want to push it all the way through the sized part of the neck or you will loose neck tension. If you have ever noticed bullet seating force gets easier towards the end, thats why. The work around here if you have to seat deep is to find bullets without a pressure ring. [/QUOTE]
