OK, so let me preface this by saying my reloading press is a piece of shit. It's an old RCBS 4x4 auto that I've been using for 10 years. It's great for pistol rounds but sucks for rifle stuff. When I load rifle rounds, I do not load them progressively. I load them single stage, except I use the individual stations of the progressive press. It works out real well except for the bullet seating. My bullet seating depth varies from anywhere between .010 to .015 round to round. I can't figure out why. I have checked everything, die is tight, shellplate is tight, die guts are tight, I can't figure it out. I've even went so far as to use the same exact position on the shellplate each time I seat a bullet, but it still varies. Is this variation normal? Is it possibly causing inconsistency in my reload performance? I really need to try some FGGM or BHA.
Thanks, as always, for any insight.
