A while back I complained that I was having sever variances in my Over All Length (OAL) of my .45 ACP reloads. I use the Lee Turret Press and had never had this issue before, so it was a bit confounding. But today I found the culprit and fixed it and now my rounds are all 1.210" in length, perfectly!

The problem was over-belling the case mouth during charging. I backed of the belling quite a bit so that the case mouth was flared just enough to let the bullet sit on the top without falling off. Once I did that, everything started hitting the OAL perfectly each and every time.

Cranked out 100 rounds today, will do another 100 or so tomorrow. That should get me enough for the next IDPA match.
