I am running on a Hornady LNL progressive with Lee Carbide dies. I am reloading 115gr 9mm Barnes bullets.
When setting up my seating die, I get the OAL perfect at 1.135". Note, this is when the stations are empty and I only have a singe case in the bullet seating die.
My problem is when the stations are all full. While seating when I am also sizing, crimping, etc all in the same time, the OAL increases to around 1.145".
I narrowed down the problem to mainly reside with the crimp die. I loaded one round into the crimp die and one into the seating die, and I get the variance as stated above. I backed out the crimp die so there is barely any crimp going on, but I am still having problems no matter how much I adjust it.
I checked the dies that are supposed to be low enough to touch the shell plate, and they are barely touching so I don't think it's a problem with having a die screwed down too low and pushing on the shell plate.
Here are my stations:
1. Resize and decap
2. Powder charge with a PowderFunnel
3. Powder cop
4. Bullet seat
5. Crimp
Thanks for any help.
