[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3264592, member: 15054"] I just started prepping brass and measuring things with my sized cases in 6.5 Creedmoor. I am using Hornady ELD bullets 123 gr and Hornady dies. Then FLS die I ran as is after cleaning it and it left some rings on my cases. I will polish it with a bore mop and some very fine machine glaze after this first round of testing. The bullet seater die is up next. Come on Hornady these are your bullets and your dies!!!! FAIL on the bullet seating stem on Hornady. I had to drill the seating stem deeper as it contacted on the plastic tip of the bullet to the point of flattening it and making the bullet OAL shorter by just inserting the loose bullet (projectile) into the stem by hand and applying a little pressure to see if it was going to bottom out on the tip. Sure enough did ..I have been there before. Little things add up to a tick more accuracy. You do not want to seat off the tip of most Rifle bullets we know that. Notice how I said "most" :) Back to the bench. [/QUOTE]
