[QUOTE="TK50, post: 1186780, member: 14088"] You didn't say how you were measuring the lengths of your loaded rounds on your post. If you are measuring them from the base of the case to the tip you will get uneven numbers. You will need to use a stoney point tool or something similar to get more accurate seating depth measurements. You should also sort your bullets for ogive length if you want them to be as close as possible in seating length measurement. Depending on how much neck tension you are using on your loaded rounds you would do more harm than good in trying to sneak up on your target depth. If you try to do that you will see more variance than what you are now dealing with. [/QUOTE]
