btw, I measured some of the loads that I made and they are all actually a little over-length, so that isn't helping... I need to re-seat the bullets deeper in each of them, but I need to get a new caliper gauge first so I can set the depth on the dies.

I've already spent about $1000 fixing the "work" the first gunsmith did on it, now I have to fix my own stupidity... fabulous!!!!

(thank god I have a 30-06 that works like butter... too bad it isn't half as accurate.)
