[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1913193, member: 3728"] Bullet dies wear, also, different dies are used on a production line. Bullet making dies screwed down more, will have shorter ogive length, so a set up man is important. Set up men working different shifts or days may set up a die differently. There is a pin in the top of the die that touches the top of the bullet, and these pins break and get bent. The point up die has to be screwed out of the press, knock out pin replaced, then the die is installed back in the press. Thus, you can get different ogive lengths. Dies get scratched, they have to be lapped out vs discarded, thus Ogive lengths change from a replacement point up die or a lapped out die. Do your own QC. [/QUOTE]
