[QUOTE="woods, post: 111823, member: 6042"] [ QUOTE ] woods, what kind of runout do you have on your bullets, once they have been seated in your cases? [/ QUOTE ] I did an OCW sequence on a batch of 300 win mag case using H1000 and the 200 gr Accubond recently. These cases were Norma, outside neck turned, PFLR with the body die, Lee Collet Neck sized. The runout <font color="red"> on the bullet </font> just before the ogive started was: 1ea @ .0000" (needle didn't move) 2ea @ .0005" 7ea @ .001" 3ea @ .0015" 4ea @ .002" 1ea @ .0025" Without outside neck turning, it depends on the type of brass. With Norma which I normally use I get a consistant .0015" to .002" <font color="red"> on the case </font> with the Lee Collet without the neck turning. IMO, once you get rid of all the .005" plus runouts like you get with a FL die, then improvements in accuracy are hard to define. I have one Redding Type S Bushing Style Neck Sizing Die, but it yielded a consistant .007" runout on the case. Went back immediately to the Lee Collet and haven't tried any more of them. Maybe I got a bad one. [/QUOTE]
