I'm reloading 165 gr. BT soft points from Speer for my .30-06 bolt action. Some of the soft points are slightly deformed from who- knows-what. I'm sure that accounts for most of the difference. When I get my Stoney Point OAL guage, and I can figure out the best OAL for my rifle, much of this will probably become largely inconsequential (I hope).

I'll keep an eye out for any build up of residue on the seating plug.

Thanks, guys!
