[QUOTE="divingin, post: 1386672, member: 104208"] Are you seating and crimping in a single step? I personally don't like doing that (not that I crimp my rifle ammo anyway) - it ends up that you push the bullet down at the same time the die crimps the case mouth, which seems to me to counterintuitive to not changing dimensions. You might try resetting your seating die to not crimp at all and see if you're still losing base to datum length. If you're not, readjust to crimp but not seat and see if you lose it there. If neither of those case a change, it may well be the combination that's causing the difference. [/QUOTE]
