Thread: Resizing inconsistency - Am I missing something

Reloading for 6.5 Creedmoor using Redding Match grade Bushing Die and Redding Press

Once fired Hornady brass all measuring 1.561” on my digital calipers. Have set up the full length die to bump shoulder back .002” with a .290 bushing. All case necks are measuring exactly as they should and most cases are coming out at 1.5575-1.559” but I’m getting random cases at 1.555-1.556”??

Process is to lube cases, resize in press then rotate 180deg then press again. I’m measuring each case as I’m a bit obsessive 😂

Have kept those cases that are over sizing aside but I’d like to know if anyone else gets this inconsistency? Is it normal or is there something I’m missing?
