[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 666347, member: 5302"] This usually happens with conventional seating dies when its bullet seating stem is off center in the bullet guide. There's enough clearance on some seating dies to wrap one layer of transparant tape around the seater head so there's zero clearance between it and the die body. I've done a lot of measuring on cases to see how well their necks are aligned with their body using a bullet runout tool. Bullets tend to align themselves with the case neck axis when they're seated. If the case neck's not straight on the case, no bullet seater will make them seat straight. Crooked case necks will bend a bit in seaters with tight neck areas as the bullet's seated but will spring back to a bit crooked after the round comes out of the seating die. [/QUOTE]
