Friend and I loaded about 80 rounds of .223 a few nights ago. We used all LC '17 brass and 40 grain Varmageddon bullets to an OAL of 2.248
I like to roll a few across the bench to see if the bullets are seated straight, about 5 of the 80 rounds had a little (very little, but still noticeable) wobble in the tip.
I really have no idea why this would happen.
We use the Hornady die with the seating sleeve that helps keep the bullet straight during seating.
Could it be something to do with the brass prep? Too little or too much chamfer?
I'm guessing these will be safe to shoot, but not very accurate, but I'm not sure about that either.
