30Br seating

No No I am not good at explaining this situation. 1. Lets say you make up a round 2. now measure it tip to base that is over all length. 3. Now pull that bullet and reassemble that case it wll be diffrent. 4. Now measure it tip to base set the seater die .005 longer to seat the bullet .005 deeper 5. now measure it same way tip to base it is now .020 longer yes .020 longer. What happen? I think it is compressing the powder causing the seater stem to dig in the bullet sticking to it slightly then when you let the ram down it pulls the bullet back out part way? I have the nut and use the new redding case compariter to measure the ogive.

When you are doing this are you resizing the neck after you pull the bullet? If not, you don't have any neck tension when you reseat the bullet. For the powder drop use the small tube and drop the handle slowly and the powder should be no more than half way up the neck. Steve
