I'm still getting my feet wet, and maybe I'm just being anal, but how do maintain a consistent coal? I was reloading some 223 that called for a coal of 2.220" I adjusted my seating die so that the first load was right on, the second was slightly off at 2.210" and from then on they were all over between 2.201" - 2.227". What the heck am I doing wrong??? A friend of mine that got me started reloaded some 223 for me and when I checked his coal they were dead nutz on, and I checked a random 40 or 50 of the 100 he loaded.
My seating die is tight in the press. The only thing I can think of is when I actually pull the lever maybe I don't use consistent pressure? If it matters I am using a Lee single stage press with Lee dies.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
