[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1953335, member: 2736"] The problems I have found with an improper bullet seating stem are = To small to get away from the tip, Many bullets have no core in this area for support and the jacket is compressed or deformed. By moving the seating point up the ojive,the jacket is supported by the core and stands up to seating pressures better. As mentioned, stay away from the bullet body ojive junction but stay above the center of the bullet ojive for better support during seating. Another condition Encountered was different ojive to base lengths with the same bullets. A quick check of the bullets with a comparator will answer this question. Neck tension can also cause differences in seated lengths because If tension is to much It can deform the bullet ojive, and if neck tension is inconsistent the seating depths will also be inconsistent. The question was ask about different neck length effects. In my opinion and practice, I turn and trim all necks to uniform dimensions so the seating force will be the same. (Or as close as I can get). The good thing about all of this is that If you are concerned about things like this, consistency is important to your shooting needs and can be improved. But if you are happy with the level of accuracy you have, many of the small improvements are not a factor. Reloading can be a hobby for a means to an end, It can also be a challenge to continuously improve the quality. In the most extreme form, It can become an obsession and only the ones willing to leave no stone unturned will reap the rewards of very small improvements. You get improvements based on the efforts you put into it. :) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
