[QUOTE="Gene, post: 317235, member: 7402"] You can easily check whether its the powder compression. Just load 3 or 4 in sized , unprimed brass, no powder and measure them off the ogive for consistency. Remember, most factory bullets, (and many custom made bullets) can vary in length slightly. I only use Redding competition dies with the micrometer tops. I seat bullets about .005" over my desired length. Almost always, there are a few thous differences. I sit them in a loading block marked with 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. thousands over, and work the micrometer down one thou at a time. Tighter neck tension will help too; choose about 3 thousands under loaded neck diameter and by experimentation, select the bushing which produces best accuracy. [/QUOTE]
