[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1208418, member: 74902"] +1 one I also check each round with the ogive comparator for correct jump after seating the bullet and adjust as necessary. Also it is a good idea to keep your brass sorted by times fired. Don't mix 2 twice fired brass with 4 times fired, etc. Reason is the brass work hardens as it is fired and the necks with have different neck tensions and will take different amounts of seating force to reach the desired jump. In other words you can end up with bullets seated to varying depths pretty easily. I sort 208 A-MAXs for my 300 WSM and have never seen base to ogive variances like the ones you are experiencing, but I don't think I have never sorted across lots. I sort Berger bullets also, and Bergers are always more consistent than Hornady bullets for me. [/QUOTE]
