hey guys, so i finally started pressing bullets tonight. my coal keeps changing. im trying to get a coal of 2.800. i set it up, press one bullet, comes out perfect. press another it may be perfect might be off by 5 thousandths. i cant get a consistent 2.800. my cases are trimmed perfect, my dies are tight, my shell holder is tight, one thing i did notice is the bullets vary in length. i cant see how that could make the difference though. i even tried cleaning the dies and the shell holder. im at a loss. any help would be appreciated.
