    Yeah in my experience the neck can get a bit thick and increase the tension... Have you got a neck turner? I'd give it a whirl.

    No I haven't got one...but in saying that the 7mmRM seating die had no issues seating them. Always thought I would draw the line at neck turning...but might as well feed the OCD monster.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    It isn't putting a crimp in...and I adjust the seating cup stem until COL was ok....I could've set it up wrong, no sure how.

    Try recontouring the inside of the seating stem a case chamfering works quite well I have done most of my seating stems with one and polished them with fine well and dry paper,
    most of my shooting is with cast bullets and they are much softer than Amax's, some die companies make VLD seaters could be worth thinking about

    Was just easier to buy a brand new hornady seater $48 to the door...the state of that die doesn't belong with my gear.
