    Headspace variation after sizing

    Just looking for some insight.

    I'm sizing once fired Hornady brass with a Forster FL sizer. Using a Lee hand press.

    I'm getting more variation in the shoulder length than I think I should.

    Aiming for 1.553". Half size to that length and others come out at anything down to 1.550 even down to 1.549 in one case.

    Trying to keep the lube and press action consistent. Measuring shoulder length with a Hornady comparitor.

    Is that kind of variability common? If not it's probably the hand press eh?
