[QUOTE="brian b, post: 72469, member: 2797"] alg, 1 yes the redding s-dies and comp dies are a great way to reduce run-out (because with bushings you can get exactly the ammount of sizing that you need,not over-size your brass when most runout issues occur coming over the expander ball). yes the s-dies do have an expander ball and the comp dies do not, but if you choose the correct size bushing the expander on the s-dies should just barely touch the neck not causing run out issues. with that said the comp dies are better because the floating body keeps the case more square while sizing virtually eliminating run-out.the only problem with the comp die is that you must have the correct size bushing (that means buy 2or3 to make sure you have the right one) and your brass must be fairly close on neck thickness (I'll get to that in a minute).and to your last point on #1 yes there is enough tension for a hunting gun provided you dont drop your ammo on the ground. #2 Trimmers actually Sinclair does not make a trimmer but they make accessories for the wilson trimmer,yes it is a little slow but more accurate than most other trimmers. #3 this is one where some one else might have a better idea than me because I just do it by hand with an RCBS on the outside and a Holland tool on the inside.(the RCBS tool is really made by wilson) #4 Sinclair makes a neck thickness variance guage that works very well (you must also buy a dial indicator along with it unless you allready have one) it is very fast to use and very use full to cull out the bad one's even if you are neckturning. B. let me know if you need more specific info [/QUOTE]
