When it doubt....blame it on Chad  I really started it with my smart donkey comment about not being able to give a neck tension measurement...I'll own it if I deserve it

To be clear, what Judd is talking about is measuring relative neck tension. What RR is talking about is measuring absolute neck tension, which would be very, very difficult to do. But as Judd, Chad, and others said, there are a number of ways to assess relative neck tension and those are more than adequate for most of our purposes.

I got the hex nut to measure the depth. I used it Saturday and find I have different depths with a variance of .005 inch. I put a couple back in the press and leaned on it a little more and it seated deeper. How do I remedy this for consistent seating depth?

The seating depth should be spot on each time. If you are using different brands of brass, or the die is not set up right you can get some variation. But the seating depth should be within .001" each time, if using the same brass and everything is consistent.

I'm using all same brand of case. I adjusted the lock ring on the die to the depth I wanted. It is a quick change bushing and I only hand tighten, but it's tight enough that when I take it out I sometimes struggle. Do I need to tighten more? What could I be doing wrong?
