No I don’t necessarily mean seating match grade bullets, I mean seatimg bullets all to a very consistent depth. How must should I tinker with the depth of the bullet from one case to another? I have a ogive measurer (comporator?) so Im not having to measure from bullet tips but I still get varying degree of depth up to about .050. So should I be trying to adjust the die so each bullet/case combo comes out to the same measured OAL or should I just be pressing all the give out of the press and call it good?
