[QUOTE="MN Hunter, post: 317118, member: 15426"] Trying to reload for my 300winn mag today. New remington brass and barnes 180grain ttsx bullets. Using H1000 - started with 77 grains max load. loaded 3 rounds - bullets would not seat at a consistent depth. First time I seated bullet it would be .04 over where I wanted it - measuring off ogive - I would put the round back in and cycle it again now it would be .03 over and so on. I checked my set up several times - everything was tight and where it was supposed to be. I then loaded 3 at 76, 75 and 74 grains - the same thing happened every time. I am using an RCBS Rock Chucker with RCBS dies. I have never loaded tipped bullets before. I can't believe this is normal but maybe it is. I reloaded some rounds for my 30-06 using sierra game kings with no problem. I do have a box of factory ammo loaded with the ttsx bullet that also showed variation HELP Thanks [/QUOTE]
