[45auto45]

I stopped belling anymore, just need to guide the bullet in the die to get er in, all is well after that. I did in fact fail to mention something, the bullets used are pulled!! I asked a friend who loads lots of .308's and even he said he has inconsistencies with pulled bullets. I have accepted them as they are. They are just for shoot em up ammo.

"Are these cartridges with the -0.026/+0.015 differences made from the same brass that you belled earlier?"

They were tossed back in with the rest of the brass and made no difference. I in fact deburred ID/OD of brass. I am not going to worry about that ammo anymore and have this ammo set aside for testing. I agree, I think they will be fine. I only loaded to about 2600 fps so I believe the case pressures generated by the lower seated bullet will not effect of cause harm. I feel comfortable and good to go!
