[QUOTE="Left Hand Dave, post: 2715722, member: 94260"] What your describing can be caused when you have a highly compressed load. The bullet is protruding so far into the case it’s basically running out of room to be seated at that depth. The first attempt at seating is stopped at the point the powder is compressed. The second attempt seats it deeper as it further compresses the powder column. This will occur until the powder column can’t be compressed any farther. Take one of your rounds you charged with powder but haven’t seated a bullet in yet and hold a bullet along side of the case at the finished length of one of your rounds. You can look in the case and see how far the bullet has to compress the power column to be seated at that length. You may have to decrease the powder charge or change to a powder that takes up less space. This usually decreases velocity. I would have to agree with you, that looks darn short. [/QUOTE]
