[QUOTE="brguide, post: 1813465, member: 72307"] Get good dies and right seating stem for your bullets. Always measure CBTO being that COAL can vary. Here is the main key don't buy cheap calipers. I noticed with cheap calipers my bullets varied .002 but with a good 8" (since I shoot long magnums) calipers (Mitutoyo, Starrett, Brown N Sharpe) every case CBTO is exactly the same and the cheaper calipers were making it seem as if I had different lengths. Rotate the cartridge as you seat the bullet this will help with concentricity. A good press and dies will get you down on concentricity to .001 or less. I ended up buying a Harrell press and whidden dies out of everything I have tried these are the straightest I could get. [/QUOTE]
