Alrighty- Here's a question for all of you.
Below is something that is very puzzling to me and I can't figure out.
I am using a Lee Classic Turret. I have listed the empty case lengths and then the case overall length after loading with Berrys plated 115 gr. RN. Why such a variation?
Shouldn't they all be the same within a very small tolerance?
The ram goes up to a fixed position and meets the seating die that is also in a fixed position. This is for 100 cases and below is the starting overall length of the empty case and then the low and high caliper readings. All were loaded at the same time.
I am new to all of this. Am I just being overly cautions? Why the differences in length? Is this normal?
I have had zero issues with feeding in my guns or anything else for that matter.
Berry's recommended 1.130 COAL
It seems the longer the case, the shorter the overall length of the finished bullet. Why? :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Thanks for your help.

1.235 to 1.130 is the overall low and high average
