I had some OAL variations when I started with my Hornady LNL.
1. Make sure your seating die locking rings are tight.
2. Make sure your shellplate center bolt is tight.
3. When you adjust your seating die, you'll need to account for some flex. Folks usually adjust the die with a single round on the shellplate and no other functions going on. This has an impact on OAL. Also, which dies you choose to run in sequence together affects OAL variation. Each die/station has a different resistance. For using an expander, powder drop, powder cop, and seating die in that order, adjust your OAL 0.005" deeper. When everything is running, you'll hit your target OAL or be very close.
4. Do your best to make each stroke of the handle as consistent as possible.
My LNL sequence is this:
First run (brass prep): Sizing/depriming die, put in fresh primer, Expander
Now my brass is primed, sized, and flared. Ready to load.
Second run (loading): Powder drop, Powder cop, seating die
Third run is just crimp.
For the taper crimp, I use Lee FCDs. These and the expander have the highest resistance. Because of this, I keep the separate runs. It takes longer but I don't care. It's like the cool down after a workout. Open another beer and keep going
My OAL variation is literally +/-0.002. And that's on a "sloppy" day.
