I just reloaded 100 .223 rounds.....
NEW WW brass,
60gr VMax bullets,
Full length resized,
Uniformed primer pockets,
Trimmed to length,
Chamfered & deburred.
I size with a RCBS FL die, and seat with a Redding micrometer die.
I seat this particular load at 2.245" OAL. Out of the 100, there were 3 that required undue pressure to seat the bullets. When I checked the OAL, they measured at 2.252". I thought it rather strange that all cases were prepped at the same time, and all bullets came out of the same box, yet there were 3 that were somehow "different"? What caused this I'm not sure. It isn't a big deal, because I just set them aside to be pulled apart later. But it is still one of those things that make you wonder. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Anyone have any insight why these 3 might have been hard to seat and then incurred a significantly longer OAL?
