Eric,
I cut the hulls very precisely on my table saw. That part is very uniform. There is a little variation in the shot column but I try to keep it minimal. I haven't used a stop with the drill press, but I have experimented with different degrees of plunging while searching for a correct length that I would then set the stop for. So far, no luck. But maybe tonight with the new crimping die, I'll get it right. I used to make pretty nice black powder loads in plastic AA hulls and a few Cheddites. But that was with the hand tool.

The weather was pretty miserable late yesterday and last night so this gave me something to play with. I think I'll have more success tonight with the new (old) crimper. I may also try a little more lead to fill that space a bit better. Looking at the load tables, this should be okay.
