I have seen a couple post recently that indicate the way a bullet is seated determines the concentricity of the bullet but did not explain what that method is. If you have experience or understanding of this fact please explain. Thanks

This is how I do it with hunting rounds, comp rounds are seated with competition type micrometer seating dies.I wouldn't have guessed this and tested everything else. But it works:
- Seat bullet base-bearing junction, with a kiss of your seater, ~1/32- 1/16" deep
- Back off seater, spin the round 180 degrees, fully seat to desired (in one move)
Of course this is barring any other influence issues for straight seating.
Here is a question about the arbor press, are they better than a standard reloading press? I have played with the idea of getting one and I have watched Youtube video from a guy from the UK using the arbor press.inline, supported well, case prepped well .
all things that help keep a bullet straight, and not go sideways.
i do not use a loading press to seat bullets.
inline dies (wilson) and a small arbor press
