[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1569361, member: 77514"] Well, why spend hundreds more on a press. I am still using the Lee Classic that was in the kit my son bought for me over ten years ago. My runout is less than .002" and that is using my Harrell's bushing die for my 6.5x47 and a set of Lee dies for my 7mm RM. The old standard test for runout was to roll the loaded rounds on a mirror. If you could not see movement at the bullet tip the runout was not an issue. I got the tool to measure runout due to my curiosity, but once I saw what my runout actually was over quite a few loading, I just don't take the time to measure much anymore. When I do measure, it is a sample from the batch i loaded. [/QUOTE]
