I measured several of the bullets and found that they differed up to about .005" at most. Hopefully that is what is causing my headaches with OAL.

Slack in the press... What exactly do you mean, and what are ways to fix it?.. Make sure the nuts/bolts on the arm linkage are tight?

Bullets are .277 140gr Hornady BTSP

Also, what is the best way to measure the OAL? Buy an ogive measuring tool, and see what OALs fit my rifles throat best? What tool do you use?
