[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 804291, member: 25383"] you can have some whizz bang NASA designed bullet seater in whatever press your heart decides on, but if the sized case has runout in it, you end up with even more run out. Nature of the beast! Start out with good strait cases and three quarters of fight is over with. Now I'm not the greatest reloader, but get by quite well. I use several sets of Wilson dies, and lots of threaded dies. I usually get about 12 to 14 tenths TIR with the Forster setup. If the runout approaches 17 tenths I shut and start looking around to see what I've done wrong. With the Wilson dies and my little K&M press I see about one thousandth most of the time, but have ran batches thru it that were in the seven to eight tenth range. Worst I see is twelve tenths. I see little difference in group sizes. But the Wilson dies and press are what works well at the range for me. Powder load accuracey always amazes me! I just a check on a .223 load I often use. My two measurers with hold the drop in a two tenth grain window or +/- .1 grain. That computes out to .036%. ( both are usually in a .12 grain window). My cases are not that good. gary [/QUOTE]
