OAL and the 6 cavity

[daboone]

Thanks to a friendly post in another forum, I figured out why I am my oals are off by +/-.005 when using the TL356-124-TC. My OAL variance is normally +/- .002. Is common for the cavities not to be of the same dimensions (vary a few thousandths in length) or is it just mine?
Any Leementing recommendations?

Um...I really wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as they are pretty darn close in weight, and where your taper crimping them on the driving band I would load them up as is. Unless your having problems with them chambering, which you shouldn't with that mold.

That small a variance does not really matter, and I would not assume it's the mould. Measure the bullets to see how consistent in length they are if you are curious, but the more probable cause is your seating plug.

If the seating plug is not a good match to the bullet, seating depth will be a little inconsistent. You can live with if, get a seater than does fit, or make the one you have fit with the use of a little expoxy.

measure to the ogive.
with even my flgc's the oal varies but the ogive don't.,

Could be a floppy sprue plate.
