[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 69724, member: 8947"] First off, you need to find out if you have a problem. If your sizing die rod is not true, it can bend the neck as the expander ball is pulled through. This causes excessive runout and runout is bad for accuracy. Measure your ammo after each stage to determine if runout is being created. Of course, compare to the fired case just to make sure your chamber is straight and true. Odds are it is. For many cartridges, best neck tension for hunting rds is 3 thou under bullet diameter. You can get that by using a standard die, a bushing die, or a collet neck die. I usually don't find a problem with the seating process but some seating stems are wonky. Measure your ammo and find out what you need. Jerry [/QUOTE]
