[QUOTE="Brent, post: 26765, member: 99"] I agree with you completely. I ALWAYS leave mine loose if I have to use one, it will never be centered in any of my dies if tightened... no matter what position, no matter what anyone says... If you can see it's off center with your eyball it's off by several thou "at least". With the shellholder perfectly perpendicular it can't do anything "but" cause runout if it isn't centered... If the case neck is already centered and the extractor grove perpendicular to this the "loosened" and now floating expander will follow on center... given even neck thickness and hardness. Of course the locked down expander stem relies on the same thickness and hardness too. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
