hi, i have type s match 2 die sets for 3 different calibers (basically a micrometer seater and a full length neck bushing resizer) my gap 4s 6.5 saum, 6.5 crredmoor, and 308. i've tried all sorts of tricks, read redding's tech tips that they suggest,,, redding basically says don't expect anything under .003 runout and then they say concentricity doesn't really matter, and their final trump card is blaming the brass. but who knows, maybe they are right, i am new to this. but i can't help thinking it is something i am doing or not doing. i tried the floating shell holder, i tried the o-ring, i tried the bushing numbers up, numbers down, locked down, not locked down, squaring up the shell holder and die with a piece of flat steel, what else,,,,i forget.rockwind
What type Redding dies do you have?
Try a lee collet die and check your concentricity after that
Another thing that might help with the expander ball on Redding dies is to not screw the expander down tight on the spindle and do not screw the spindle down tight on the lock nut. This will allow them to free float some. Seems to help me some on my Redding bushing dies.
what do they run, dollarwise? i keep thinking about doing thatI'm afraid I will sound like a lying internet idiot, but here goes. After I discovered Forester will hone dies to my desired diameter I ordered a full length sizer for the .270 Win and 6.5 CM. I get .000" run out coming out of the die. Seating bullets normally causes run out, though.
