[QUOTE="DT400, post: 1695108, member: 76847"] It wasn't the die. At least not the base part. I have given up on the 140SST's for the moment. I loaded up the 143 ELD-X's and they all came in with-in .005 after seating....most were .001 with just a few rebels. I may look into a ELD seating stem that I hear contacts the bullet closer to the ogive or just change dies sets as I am not getting the concentricity I was expecting...maybe I am expecting too much on that front. For now I just use the conccentricity gage to get it straight when they are out of spec. The nodes aren't the same or as wide with the 143's as the 140's but the accuracy is there. The accuracy is actually there with both but the SST's were a pain. The chrono's node search on the 143's could've also just been a bad day/brass issue so I am doing them again but narrowing it down to the range that was giving the best groups and ES. Still narrowing down the recipe. Darrell [/QUOTE]
