[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2295464, member: 1521"] It would be better to determine why, and fix that. Seating force is frictional. In itself, variances hurt nothing other than causing a battle to hit desired seating depths (CBTO). If you reduce seating force with a dry lube [in the neck/on the bullet], friction variance should be reduced to a point where you can detect neck tension variance (a smaller variance). With that, if tension variance is ugly, and your load likes lighter neck tension, you can reduce neck interference (as sized) and/or anneal necks. Be sure to load develop any tension changes though. The best dry lube in this application is the carbon layer provided with shooting. Don't over clean that, or things only get worse. [/QUOTE]
