[QUOTE="britz, post: 146163, member: 7865"] I am trying to get the most out of my loads, just like the rest of you I'm sure. I made a homemade bullet runout "checker" or what ever you want to call it. It consists of two sets of cradles and a caliper set to measure the distance from the bullet to the base when the bullet is rotated. It is pretty crude, but I think it is doing the trick. I notices that some of my older hand loads had pretty bad runnout. Does anyone have some tips to decrease runnout. I use Redding dies now (plain jane's) but I always put pressure on them with the press ram before I tighten the collet. I use a Lee challenger press, it has some slop in the ram. Suggestions? Thanks, Britz [/QUOTE]
