[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 486893, member: 1007"] The only way that I know how to 'straighten' runout is to load the case and fire it. Then you have to figure out how to size them without creating runout in the first place. I use to turn my necks enough to where when they were ran into the die, they came out with .003 neck tension without the use of an expander ball. Another decent way is to use the body die and seperate neck die as has been mentioned. Also, Redding makes FL dies that you can put neck bushings into the die. You can get bushings of various sizes to get the right neck tension. What ever you decide, the fewer stages and the less you have to run something inside the neck the better. Also, I think guys place too much emphasis on runout. Some of the best loads I have ever used had enough runout to make most here cringe. NEVER check the runout on loads that are shooting lights out. You WILL loose sleep at night after that. There is no replacemnt for finding a good load/barrel harmonic node relationship. That said, having minimal runout never hurts accuracy. [/QUOTE]
