[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1196397, member: 2011"] TheDerkster, I get your results when seating a heavily compressed load with a certain bullet. Instead of a wide 'smudge' I get a very sharp line more like a "cut" or a very small groove. Upon removal of the cartridge from the seating die, the sleeve actually grabs the bullet and pulls it out of the neck screwing up the seating depth. I've lapped the sleeve but not yet sufficiently. The dies are custom Hornady in 375 Allen Mag. Note that this grabbing doesn't occur with any lead core bullet I've loaded only these uniquely designed monos I'm playing with. I'm thinking that if the sleeve acted similar with jacketed bullets the results would be more similar to what you are getting. [/QUOTE]
