[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1440488, member: 28965"] When a case is fired that is thinner on one side the thin side of the case expands more and the case warps and become banana shaped. This causes the base of the case to tip and no longer be 90 degrees to the axis of the bore. Full length resizing reduces the case body diameter and the egg shaped case body will have little to no guiding effect on the bullet. And bumping the case shoulder will allow the ejector to push the case forward. And this prevents the warped base of the case from tipping the case in the chamber. NOTE, at the Whidden custom die website they tell you they get the most concentric cases using non-bushing full length dies. Bushing dies if the neck diameter is reduced .004 or more will induce neck runout. And at the Redding website they recommend reducing the neck diameter in two steps when reducing the neck diameter .004 or more. The bushing "floats" in the die and can move from side to side and even tilt when reducing neck diameter. Also Redding recommends to use the expander if you do not turn the case necks and use a bushing .002 smaller than expander diameter. NECO case gauge checks the following. [URL]http://www.neconos.com/details.htm[/URL] 1) The curved "banana" shape of the cartridge case; 2) The relative wall thickness variation of a cartridge case; 3) The cartridge case head out-of-squareness; 4) Individual Bullets - out-of-round "egg shape" and/or curved "banana" shape (excepting very small bullets); 5) The seated bullet and cartridge runout of loaded rounds. The accuracy of any firearm is determined -- and limited -- by the quality of the ammunition shot in it. The effect of imperfections in ammunition is cumulative; each flaw adds to the influence of all others. [img]http://www.neconos.com/NEWDIAL2.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
