[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 108360, member: 10"] BJ, THis is one reason I do not care much for the S-type dies if that is what you are using, no case body control while the neck is sized. Make sure everything is totally clean in the bushing chamber. If there are any brass chips under the bushing they will throw off your Run outs. Also, a little tip, do not lock the die down in the press. Usually the threads are off slightly on the die and press so if they are and you lock the die down you get this showing up in your case necks. Let the die float as you size cases and it tends to help center itself better then if its locked down. Best way to fix things, A Redding Comp Bushing neck sizing die. Total case body control as the neck is sized, run outs generally are in the 0.0005" range when set up and cleaned properly. Your run outs are not bad but not great. May be about as good as you will get with an S-type die. This is the problem with them, consistancy, many cases will be very good, here and there you will get 0.003" run out for no explained reason, just the nature of the beast when the case body is unsupported. Wear in your press will also show up in your run outs using this type of die, as will out of concentric shell holders. All of these are corrected with a Redding Comp Bushing neck sizing die because the Die actually controls the case body, not the shellholder. Hows she shooting by the way??? Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
