Watching the recent thread from a member on inconsistent seating lengths. The question asked was do you use a mandrel? Brush out carbon? Bushing dies? So here's the question…Most brass is consistent, neck tension will vary based on neck thickness. Turn the neck, run a mandrel thru and it seems like you reinvent the same problem as you started with. IMO the seating stem is the most important match up in the process. So with fired cases - tumble, brush interior, trim, neck turn, chamfer, prime, drop powder, seat bullet. Ok that-0ne- is where you want it. Next one is six thousands long. Gotta be the bullet.
What my process developed into was get the first one to spec back the seat stem backwards, seat the next one (micrometer die) adjust from there, incrementally to desired size.
Thanks for your feedback. LP
