[QUOTE="green 788, post: 96513, member: 3781"] [b]"How do I remedy this problem, I am currently using RCBS and Hornady dies."[/b] That's easy. Just put ten of the rounds with .003" and less runout into one paper bag, and stick a folded note in there indicating "low runout." Then put ten high runout rounds in another paper with a folded note reading "high runout." Then have a friend mix up the bags and hand them back to you and head to the range--300 yards if possible. Fire one shot from the first bag at one target, then one shot from the second bag at a second target. Alternate back and forth between bags and targets until all twenty shots have been fired. Allow adequate time for the barrel to cool between all shots. Observe the targets, paying very close attention to group sizes. Then and only then should you look at the folded notes in the bags. Odds are you won't see enough difference in group size to worry you. But if you do, and it is determined that the high runout is hurting you, then you can begin to take steps to reduce it.
