I had to seat bullets 2/3's the way then touched them to my tumbler while it was running to settle in the powder then seat the rest the way followed by an immediate crimp. lol

I did this for my daughters first deer hunt. didn't find nothing but was still a good time.
Hi, be interesting if you ran your figures through QL, and let us know.
Regards,Ken.
