Hey guys I have small dilemma with my new Dillon Super 1050, I thought you guys that have used this machine for a while could help out. I have been using a Dillon 550 since 93, and have always had outstanding bullets, no matter what it always delivers a perfect round every time. I always recommend them to anyone wanting to start reloading. I use Lee resize and deprime & bullet seating dies on my 550.
Well since I got my 1050 I have been able to stop primer depth problem, primer being ejected out, missing primer, jamming primer all to which have been lovely learning experiences. But one still eludes me and makes my brain hurt. I have been loading 9mm with an 115gr bullet from (RMR) Rocky Mountain Reloading, and using a COL of 1.100”, I use Hornady loading manual. I am using a Lee Bullet seating die, and know how to them set up. I have just enough belling on the case to allow the bullet to sit firm in the case mouth. I have set my bullet seating die to 1.100” . When I start up I will have COL of 1.105 or even 1.106. Most of my rounds loaded are within 1.097” to 1.103”. With the majority of those landing dead on 1.100”. When I take those rounds that are 1.105 and longer and put them back through my seating die they hit 1.100” . I had the same thing happen with Berry’s Bullets, which I never had a problem with any on my 550. In fact they were my favorite plinking bullets. Anyone hazard to guess? I know some of the bullets may not be as round as others. But to run it through first and get 1.105, then put the same round back in the loader to get 1.100”?
Thanks guys I appreciate your time on this.

Thanks guys I have read all your posts with great diligence. I have wondered that maybe the shell plate was flexing down, never gave any thought to making sure all stations are full, as in AL503's, and HI5-0 posts, I do understand, and thanks. My wife says I was being to picky, and her being the expert on everything is possibly correct. I won't tell her. Nice to see there isn't a to much of a problem. Thank you all for your help. I didn't see a way to reply to individual posts. Perhaps I missed a click some where?
