Explains exactly why the Serpent bulged to one side during seating when the brass is resized or factory original.

I've just reloaded a batch, twice fired brass, no resizing, no case mouth flare, a little push in due to start and then the projectile slips easily in no visible bulging. Very consistent depth. Easily the most concentric.

I know they are very close up images.
But the bases do look a bit variable and the bases are the key to accuracy.
