I last loaded up 50 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor and 140 Hybrids about 3 weeks ago, and I made another batch just tonight and I normally check ogive after seating the first bullet, but I knew I only seated Hybrids and did not bother to check ogive length knowingly did not change the seating depths since last batch. So I seated 50 rounds and was about to put everything away but had the itch to measure the ogive to double check before I closed that ammo box. Yikes, the caliper read .020" deeper. :hammer: I just remembered loading 20 rounds for my buddy's Creedmoor and realized my mistake. So I got the kinetic hammer and lightly tapped all of the rounds until it was a tad longer than my desired ogive length of 2.260" and re-seated to my proper length.
I was curious if it will have any change of accuracy compared to seating it once. That question came to my mind.
