My .308 Lapua cases are fired 2x, and neck sized with Redding Competition Die, and trimming is not really needed because its around 2.005 case length, some are from 2.003 to 2.006, so no big deal. Now when I seat the 168 SMK, I measured the ogive on each bullet, and there is a variation up to .008" on base to ogive. Why is that? My RCBS press is about 25 years old, don't you think it might be some wear? It's frustrating when you spend a couple of hours prepping cases, fill and seat bullets and find out at the end that there is a seating variation.
