[QUOTE="TheDerkster, post: 1196255, member: 92447"] About .425 inches from the tip on an overall bullet length of 1.645, so roughly 1/4. The mark is roughly 1/16 long which is why I get such long base to ogive measurements because thats how far the seater is crushing the bullet before it continues to push. Also, its not doing it right away neccessarily. In example, if I pull the round back out right after I got it started, there may not be a mark, as I continue to push, it gets a little more prevalent. This makes since as there should be more friction as more of the neck begans to contact. An yes, the bullet is seated pretty deep. Its a 195 grain 7mm bullet. Thats long and the freebore requires me to seat at 2.1755'' for a .020 jump. I neck sized with the 7mm SAUM FL die with a custom expander ball i made to size it right for the trimmer i have. So there isn't really a "Donut" left if Im understanding right. I did have a significant one right after I pushed the shoulders back though. The seating process is very smooth however. Its not like its easy and then gets hard suddenly. Its fairly easy going. [IMG]http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss148/lrshooting/20160427_145347_zpsllytyx0i.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
