Looks like I got the loads mixed up that I posted.There is no extra gas seal used in the 1 1/8 oz load which would change the stack height.As other posters have suggested you just need a bit more filler and adjustment to your loader.If using the bp1044 wad in place of the sp10 there may be a little difference in filler needed.I do also use a brass star pre crimper which may help with new hulls.They have sharper corners than the original mec.Looks like you are winning by the last photo.Sorry for any confusion.Jeff

I put an 1/8" washer between the MEC star crimper and the frame of my VersaMec to get a deeper and more defined fold to the crimp.
