[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 1333722, member: 97793"] The press should have a positive stop to get perfect head to ogive measurements. 1. Reddings Competition bullet seating die can be adjusted to contact the shell holder, lightly. 2. Lee makes a dead length bullet seater that gets adjusted to contact the shell holder also. 3. Make sure the seating stem contacts the ogive of the bullet and not the tip. Some long pointed VLD or even some Hornady bullets will seat using the tip of the bullet. If this happens, the bullet may not be seated straight. When the shell holder and seating die make contact, its said to make for a consistent OAL. This can be done when FL sizing and controlling shoulder set back. Redding competition shell holder sets remove the slop in a reloading press, when FL die and shell holder make contact. I don't bother with the above, as a variation of .005" maximum is ok with me. [/QUOTE]
