[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 623575, member: 10291"] I have had this problem with my 6.5x284. Usually two causes. As was mentioned, with compressed loads and a light neck tension. Also, had this happen with neck tensions that were too tight, using Bergers. The thin jacket will give inpercetively under the pressure of the seater stem even though it is well mated to the ogive of the bullet. Sometimes you can actually see the deformation. I use the Redding competition S type dyes. I might be wrong, but I think the spring loaded sliding shell guide will bottom out on the press ram before the main body of the dye does. I have always been cautious about camming over with the slider type dyes. It is possible I may not be using the right shell holder(RCBS), but I have not had issues with COAL when the two factors mentioned were under control. They are usually within the variation of the meplat. In any case, I would try to find the cause, as opposed to sort by length. [/QUOTE]
