[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 59480, member: 3532"] Over the years I've come to believe strongly that it is a match of the load to a good barrel and finding the right harmonics that "makes the load". And, yes, I do believe the barrel can and does straighten out the bullet. I've seen people report here on forums that for every .001" runnout over .003" you will see 1/4 moa loss in accuracy. Obviously your gun and my gun shoot that theory all to heck. If you're benchresting at 600+ yds and your match is won or lost by 10ths of an inch I'd say go crazy over runnout. I've owned a gauge for about 4 yrs now and I do check my dies and fine tune them for good runnout just to eliminate a variable. BUT, my experience in my hunting rifles tells me not to take it so seriously anymore. NO matter whether you use normal full length dies, collet dies, or bushing dies you will always have an array of runnout from a batch of reloads. It's pretty easy for anyone to check for themselves if it really matters in THEIR gun with THEIR load. In general I believe most hunters will find the differences basically meaningless. [/QUOTE]
