[QUOTE="Highdesertmike, post: 1574335, member: 59540"] A lot of good information here. We are working with many variables when we handload and it's not an exact science. As others have said, the bullets are not all exactly the same, the seating stem may or may not fit the ogive properly, the cases are not the same as far as length, hardness and neck tension. All these variances add up in the end. Are your primers seated .002" Below the case head or are they a little proud? Primers are not all the same length. Are you using a quality caliper? Differences in technique can amount to variances as well. Are you lubing the inside of the case prior to bullet seating? Combine all these things and it's not difficult to vary a few thousanths.
