[QUOTE="Varangi, post: 953333, member: 64329"] I can't wrap my head around an issue I experienced this morning. I thought I'd share it with the Collective before I re-visit my bench. I'm reloading 300win mag using a CO-Ax and Redding Comp S Seating Die. I use the fixed shell plate w/ a Redding #6 shell holder- 20 pieces of brass are sized, trimmed 208gr. A-max's( not sorted)- I'll sort next batch, never had issue before.. Seating Die prepped w/ dummy to seat the 208 at 2.767 to Ogive- Confirmed several times. Die free floats in the press... set screw holding die in slot adjusted to min.(just enough to keep the die from sliding out. Seated all bullets- same technique- checked measurement w/ digital calipers- +/- .003 on all 20 rounds-- 2.764-2.770... Verified measurement on dummy- 2.767- calipers ok Inspected Die- no visual issues.. Bearing Service and Meplat should not be an issue- die contacts bullet just above Ogive.. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Mike [/QUOTE]
