While not jacketed bullet related, if you are shooting cast bullts with a fairly malable lube, it can work up to the top of the seating plug and as it accumulates, it will give you deeper and deeper seating. I found this most often with the old mica-wax (white-powdery-stuff) lube that Hornady used on their swaged bullets in the past as well as the dark wax coated Speer swaged bullets.

Of course with your jacketed bullets it is of no concern, but if you shoot cast bullets in the future, it can be an irritant.
