[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 979610, member: 25383"] if it were me, I'd start out trying to take five tenths to one thousandth of an inch out of my sized brass. It maybe a simple thing, and yet maybe a major issue. A thousandth will often show you close to two thousandths less error loaded. You maybe seeing error in the press or shell holder. Yet maybe it's in the seater. Most people think they understand the way error stacks up, but in reality few do. The press must be checked under a heavy load just like it was sizing a case, and checking a die for being square in the press is another issue. I would buy a couple stones (actually four), and start removing bumps and burrs in the press itself. It's not hard to pick up .0005"/.001" here alone. (hint: start with the area the shell holder seats on). Buy an India slip stone, and a hard Arkansas stone. But also but a couple round ones to remove burrs you can't get with a flat stone. Use your head, and it will all fall in place. gary [/QUOTE]
