Another thing to consider is if your presses are level. If they are tilted your brass will tilt. One more thing. How you operate your press handle will influence the ram. This is noticable in...

I would invite you to take another look at the bottom of the inside of your pistol brass. Concentric with the flash hole and at varying distances (with different manufacturers, calibers, etc.) there...
