Thread: Bullet seating centricity any tricks and tips?

Hello guys, I recently bought some nice Lapua 6.5mm brass and some ELD-M 130gr projectiles to load up and after knocking out 50 thought I'd test them in a home made centricity gauge. Bugger me, more than half are not seated straight! Pretty pee'd off! All I can think is this type of projectile doesn't like Lee seating dies. Anyone else found this? I checked the end of the projectile wasn't bottoming out which it isn't but it engages close to the top marring the projectile. I've bought a nice Forster Ultra micrometer seating die from ebay that is more optimised for these types of bullets.

Any tricks to get the best centricity? Brass prep? Tried turning the round through 180 degrees during seating. No good! Maybe standard Lee dies are just not great for precision loading?
