[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2330351, member: 1951"] I too would like to learn how to get my Redding 300 WSM die to produce 0.001” or less runout as I prefer the bushings. That said, 0.002” is good enough, IME. I learned about Hornady accuracy by accident. I bought the 21st century tool. Then I was like Redding vs Forster, which is best. Redding was like 0.0025” worst case and Forster was like 0.0008” that day! Then I’m like how are these crap Hornady 350 legend dies and I got like 0.001”! I have lots of Hornady dies and need to do more testing. That said, Forster and Redding are my favorites. Whidden is fine. Hornady is good enough. I do want to test more with Hornady custom dies. Remember, Hornady custom dies are custom. They are likely made with a low volume sizing reamer made based on your fired cases or reamer dwg. They are not high volume dies with worn out readers tuned to some average SAAMI chamber also made with worn reamers on old production equipment. [/QUOTE]
