If you are measuring from tip of bullet to base of cartridge that is where you are getting your variance from. Dies are hardened steel that hs been polished. I can see it being a tad on the diffacult side to auger this out. Maybe with a lath and the right equipment you could git-r-done but i do not know.

Why not just buy a seating die that does not crimp? Wouldn't that be the cheaper easier way to go? The you have both. I personaly never crimp rifle ammo. Only pistol ammo gets a crimp in my reloading room.
