[QUOTE="Forester, post: 218035, member: 11102"] I discovered the problem as part of a test to see if neck turning would improve on already low ES. I am using Lapua cases, the neck turned cases had a .014" thickness and the unturned cases ran .015-.016". I am using the same bullet as before, Berger 168gr VLDs (.308) I ran out of the old lot, so this is a new lot of the same bullet. Bullets are sorted by bearing surface length. The bullets do not bottom out in the Redding competition seater die, I am not sure about the standard die but I got similar runout readings from both so I am leaning towards ruling out the die. I think I am going to borrow a friends press and load a few with my dies, if I get low runout on his then I am stuck blaming the press even though I can not figure out how that would have happen. FWIW, on 20 neck turned cases, 18 had .006" runout and 2 had .007", very consistant and maddening! [/QUOTE]
