[QUOTE="tunicadartos, post: 333506, member: 21642"] Thanks for all the great info posted on this site. I'm hoping one of you can help me with what I think is a neck tension problem. I am reloading for 270 WSM. I purchased a Savage 12 LRPV this summer and bought norma brass and forster FL sizer and micrometer seater. Initially results were frustrating because I tried too many variables at once. I was trying to shoot Hornady 130gr SST's and 110gr Vmax's. I have established that the gun does not like the SST's because it shoots Nosler ballistic tips very well. I'd still like to shoot 110gr bullet but cannot get them to seat uniformly. My brass has been fired twice and annealed by rotating in a propane flame until it just began to glow. They are ultrasonically cleaned with citranox after each firing. What's happening is this: when I try to seat the vmax's some seat very easily while others require much more pressure to seat and mic out long when measured. The bullets even have a visible crimp from the seating die. I'm planning on trying some factory round and seeing how they do. I'm also planning to get some new brass and keeping the torch away from it until I see how it does. Any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks [/QUOTE]
