[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 3061315, member: 109994"] Yes, Scheels has a sale tomorrow and I'm planning on getting the Hornady micrometer for 50% off :) I've used my Hornady coal tool enough that I know exactly what the bullet's doing in the throat as I push it in there, so I'm not concerned about this part being subjective. It takes a good firm extra push to get the bullet to seat all the way. It will suddenly release and move about 0.110 further forward. There's few possibilities that are definitely happening: -rough freebore and burrs are hitting the bullet - freebore diameter is actually tighter than spec - modified case neck is way non concentric and is causing the bullet to drag on one side as I push it in.
