[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 2330087, member: 74902"] I find this to be true also. The Hornady FL sizing die works a lot like a Forster die, in the way it allows the expander to be adjusted until it is way up in the die where the neck is sized. If you adjust it way up there, it acts like an Forster die and starts straightening and expanding the neck, on the down stroke, when the neck is first coming out of the neck sizing part of the die. This gives very low runout. This is one of the great things about Forster dies. I don't know why Hornady never mentions this. I also find that jamming bullets .015 or more ( like VLDs) almost always gives tighter groups than any sort of jump. The jamming is aligning the bullet perfectly to the bore, negating all of this runout, ejector side pressure, ect. as much as possible. So that lends credence too, when jumping bullets, the lower the runout and brass fit to the chamber, etc. the better. [/QUOTE]
