i have been doing a lot of reading and research about these processes, i just cant seem to bring it all together in my mind and my thoughts are not that organized so here i go.
1. so i use my concentricity gauge and it shows i have more runout than i should? am i just sorting this into groups of rounds that are about the same then shooting them in succession? or can i fix it somehow?
2.i have used my bullet comparator to measure my bullets...now what? is this simply a culling method or again do i group them up and shoot them together?
3.i use my neck neck sorting tool to do what? i know how it works but what do i do with what it tells me ? does turning necks fix this?
4.once i have turned my necks how do i know that the case neck is square or true with the center of the rest of the cartridge? if it is off do i cull the brass or can it be fixed? (i am shooting a .300 dakota so my options are very limited on dies that i can use but i have switched to redding)
5. i have been mostly full length resizing but would like to only size necks but the only dies i can find are full length dies, i know it can be done with these but i am not sure how to set them up , i read that i should just bump the shoulder a thousanth or less....how do i know that i am only bumping it that much
6.once i have turned a case neck is it good for the life of the brass or does it need done every firing?
7. what else am i missing here?
