[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 229108, member: 9215"] "Although I have no way to prove it, I think that slowly and gently seating the bullet, allows the bullet to slide into the neck without deforming the concentricity of the neck/shoulder junction." I suspect that if you use your concentricity gage to check progress after each step, you may find that a "rotational seating" process accomplishes nothing. A bullet that starts tilted tends to stay tilted. No sizer or seater can correct for non-concentric necks so the cases must be good or turned to be good. Or at least better.Straight bullet seating is more dependant on straight necks than any other single factor. Straight necks depend more on the nature of the expander, or the sizer itself if no expander is used, than most folks assume. That's the prime reason for the success of Lee Collet Neck Sizers, they produce straight necks quite well. For sure, no electronic powder dispensing system adds anything to the accuracy of the finished product. [/QUOTE]
