[QUOTE="WRG, post: 623484, member: 13638"] Check the neck wall thickness on that Winchester brass and I am willing to bet your going to find they are not consistant. Use a good micrometer and take 3-4 measurements around the neck on each piece. Basically looking for a high spot. This is very common with cheap brass and the main reason it sells so cheap. Less common with Lapua, Norma, and Nosler brass where the quality control is much better. If you find they are not consistant then you would have to turn necks as that is more than likely your runout problem however, using better brass will save you all the work. Hate to see you spend money on new dies when all along it was the brass in the first place. I prefer to use the Lee collect dies and produce ammo with less than .0005 runout consistantly. Dies cost me $28.00 so IMO you don't need those big dollar dies to make good ammo however, you do need good brass to work with. Good luck [/QUOTE]
