I have a separate crimp die and have been checking the lengths before I crimp. OAL is VERY consistant as long as it's the same headstamp and I could live with +/- .005 one way or the other. The problem for me is that the ones where OAL is .005 short can be setback via the bench test..That's just not going to cut it for me. I have a U die in route to see if that helps even things out..
.005" is an insignificant number in bullet seating depth. Pretty much the diameter of a human hair.
