I'm reloading 30-06.  165 grain ball rounds.
Winchester Virgin brass
Winchester Large rifle primers
IMR 4895
COL should be at 3.340

I'm neck sizing the brass, then trimming and deburring.

Seating primers.  Pouring powder, and seating bullets.

Why in the holy hell are some of the bullets seating at 3.300 and others are seating at 3.350????

I've done all I can think of.   Any advice?

Thanks, Scott

Bullet lengths vary, are you measuring off the ogive?

That does it Mark.  Thanks once more!  

As long as it's not me, and it doesn't look like it is!

For the Record these are pulled bullets (by me) that were originally loaded in the early 50's.



Thanks again.
