[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 243468, member: 9215"] Sadly, it seems from reading on the net, that problem is sorta common with those bushing dies. I prefer the Lee Collet Neck sizers. They work necks the absolute minimum so case life is good. They need no lube, make straight necks and the neck ID is always right no matter the neck thickness. And no seater can make straight ammo if the necks are bent! Understand that no sizer die can make non-concentric necks absolutely straight. Depending on your brass, you may need to lightly turn your necks, just a skim cut, to remove the worst of the high spots before you see much improvement. And yes, shooting WILL make the necks pretty straight IF your chamber is straight. Thankfully, it seems most are but not always. Try a light turning, Lee neck size, shoot and then Lee neck size again. At that point your case run-out should be quite low. You didn't say how you are reading the neck run-out now. Remember that true run-out, or tilt, is half of the total indicated run-out. [/QUOTE]
