[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 556495, member: 15748"] Lots fo things involved here, but most of them can be overcome by consistent operation of the press. If the dies are properly locked and not moving within the press, the seating stem is tight and not moving, then this part of the system won't be an issue. I have seen many presses with enough slop or play in the linkage system that it would effect uniform seating, bu this could usually be eliminated by exerting a little lateral pressure on the handle when you seat. That is, pushing the handle consistely to the left or right while operating it through its stroke. That said, I'll still put my money on the bullets themselves as being the most likely culprits here. As I said, not everyone puts the same degree of care into base/ogive consistency as they should. Worth trying some others, just to see if this reduces or even eliminates the variation. [/QUOTE]
