[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1132398, member: 74902"] Well inconsistent seating depth could be caused by inconsistent neck tension. Could be the seating stem profile also. Inconsistent bullet bearing surface size can do it too. Are you measuring seating depth at the ogive or tip of bullet? Berger bullet tips lengths can vary quite a bit. It is possible to get consistent seating depth by backing off the seater a bit so the length is longer, then turing the seater down a bit and measuring, turn down and measure until you hit the depth you want. have to do it with each bullet, and a bit of a pain, but it will get all the depths the same. Bergers seem always to shoot good at the lands. 10 thou difference might be enough to throw them off. Just depends. [/QUOTE]
