[QUOTE="mtJim, post: 2612546, member: 121886"] I broke the rule of only changing one thing at a time, but in this case I think all three are part of the solution. I ordered and received a .2755 mandrel. I removed the decapping stem and expander button from my FL sizing die, and run the cases through the bare sizing die. Then used the mandrel to set the neck tension. I added imperial to the inside of the case mouth, and rotated the case three times while seating the bullet. Average runout on the bullet is now .002-.003. A few still go up to around .005, but way better than the .008-.010 that I was seeing before. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and ideas, much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
