Facts: 40 Cal, RMR RNFP 165 gr plated. LNL AP (spare me the Red jokes), using RCBS Seater Die, RN. stem. Seating depth 1.130 -/+ .005. Using Hornady Bullet feeder Die.
Seater die is the number 5 station.
Issue: Ran 300 rounds, about number 350, 12 rounds went to 1.113 -/+ .005.
Had the same issue on friday, about the 300 round mark.
Now am using a Lee bullet feeder tubes with Bully Adapter. The bullets kept either hanging up or dropping more than one, so tinkered with die and got it set.
Was using it today, same issue, thought maybe I touched the seater die on Friday when I adjusted it, so made sure I was no where near touching it today. Same issue, all of a sudden the rounds were seating well below what I had been reloading. I had been measuring a couple of rounds every 25 or so just to make sure and all seemed within my spec until about round 350
Pulled the rounds, resized and reloaded, normal range, +/-.005.
The cases all measured in the .640 range. Bullets weighed between 164 and 166.
I did look inside seating die to see if something got jammed up in there to cause issue and nothing or than some residual bullet plating.
So any thoughts as to why all of a sudden my seating depth would have drastically changed, never had this problem before??
Thanks.
