[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 686319, member: 5302"] I've got no worse than 2/1000ths runout on .270 Win. cases having bullets seated in a .30-06 seating die. On a bet some years before that, I was told that .308 Win. cases could have bullets seated in their cases using a .358 Win. die so I bet $20 that it wouldn't work well at all. Seated 20 rounds of .308's in that .358 seater and they all had less than 3/1000ths runout. My friend spent my $20 on another set of reloading dies. If case necks are straight on the shoulder and no more than 1 to 1.5 thousandths smaller in mouth diameter than what the bullet is as well as the case mouth deburred at a lesser angle than what most deburring tools have (Easy Out twisted clockwise in trimmed cases makes a much better angle), case necks stay straight on case shoulders quite well and can have a lot of room around them when bullets are seated. Folks who scoff at this should do some tests of their own just like I did. [/QUOTE]
