Having an odd issue with my Lee bullet seating die. I'm loading some 140 RDF's for a Tikka CTR 24" 6.5CM that has a long throat I think (2.986" COAL to be on the lands, yeah yeah I know I should do CBTO but this works fine if you do it right). I'm loading them 0.030" off the lands, so 2.955" COAL which is only 0.150" of engagement with the bullet-case. Because it's so long, the seating adjustment is backed out so far (but still full thread engagement) I think it's allowing for slop and the bullets are seating crooked.
I was planning to chuck up the inner seating tool (that interfaces with the bullet) and chop it down ~0.2" but I was wondering if anyone else had a good fix for this or just "buy new dies that don't do this" (which would be...?).
