[QUOTE="drenge, post: 282647, member: 9300"] Thanks woods, boomtube, and everyone. I just adjusted my die properly in my rockchucker and it worked great. I definitely had the die screwed down too low the first time. I lowered the lever to the bottom and screwed the die in until it connected with the seater. I then turned the die one full turn and tested with a case. I turned it 1/8th of a turn several time until the pressure felt right at the very bottom of the stroke. It didn't make the awful grinding sound like it did last round. The runout is under .001. I love the Lee collet for that reason. I'll have to look into a crimp die if it helps with my ES. I've never really cleaned the inside of my necks. I've read many different opinions about that as well. Some swear by it some don't. I'll give it a try with the steel wool and see if it helps. It sure looks like you (woods) are having excellent results with cleaning the inside of the necks. Very consistent speeds! I'll update the post after I get a chance to shoot. Here is my group at 100 yrds... Looked pretty good untill I moved out to 600! [IMG]http://i325.photobucket.com/albums/k366/jhodrenge/IMGP1590.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
