[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1905323, member: 109229"] Ever find yourself seating bullets and getting CBTO variations of up to .007”? Today I was loading up some 143 ELD-X’s for my 6.5 x 47 and usually, at the same setting on my Redding micrometer seating die, I might get .001-.002 variation and I usually don’t sweat it. Anything over .002” gets my tightie-whites in a knot and I start correcting them. Sometimes, one will seat right on the money and the next one is .004” too deep. That’s when I give it a couple of gentle taps with the kinetic hammer, knocking it out past the CBTO and then adjust the die and seat it again. Anyway, I have a feeling that this has something to do with lot to lot variation but what do you do when it happens? How much variation is acceptable to you? [/QUOTE]
