You are onto something here. Most of my brass is in the 1.282-1.286 range; those hard to seat are often as low as 1.273-1.276 Is this... normal?
I can work around this by flaring more, but then I'm over-working the longer cases. Throw away short brass or resize a _lot_ of pieces, hummm.
Base of the projectiles sometime is as high as .359, so combined with the shorter cases it can lead to the issue I think.
