[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2784220, member: 106845"] It boils down to cost cutting. They run dies and tooling a bit longer than maybe they should, so they wear will differ when changed out for new. They also don’t have dedicated machines for each product line, so when dies/tooling get swapped out, your get done variance there as well. It sucks, and I wish it wasn’t like that, but it always has been, that’s why it’s always been a thing to try to buy in big lots if you can, or just measure and adjust as necessary when changing lots. Usually it doesn’t take much. I sort bullets. I sort them base to ogive. I keep batches in big bins based on the measurements. By doing this, I can order a new lot number and when I sort them, they all end up in batches that are the same. By doing this, I create just a few lots and if I need to switch from one to another, I just adjust things as required and I’m good to go. [/QUOTE]
