[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1455853, member: 2736"] I am not sure that any quality die sets will not load concentric ammo If used properly. For years I had good success with RCBS dies and only started to change brands when they offered more features and adjustability/flexibility. depending on the needed features, I use many brands now to get the best for the uses and needs of the cartridge. I still have and use some of my original Die sets and presses but where i need more, i have other equipment and test gauges that are used. The concentricity tools are just that, tools to show you how good or bad your loading process is. There are many different brands and methods to how they work, so one brand/style may be better suited for what you expect from it than another. I like to use two different types to get what want. But this doesn't mean that you must have two or three different styles of concentricity tools. I just like the function of one for checking fired cases first, and then using it to check the loaded round using the same tool to see if/what the difference is and use it to improve the loading process by trial and error until I get the desired results. (Or at least the best my equipment can do. The other works well when I screw up or don't produce the best ammo for its use, i can straighten and salvage it for some uses. after the straightening process, I like to go back to the tool I checked the fired cases to realy measure the improvements. (Using the same tool gives me an Apple to Apple comparison). So I recommend that you try what you have, using good contcentricity tools to measure your results and after determining what/where the problem is that cant be fixed, then look for better/different equipment designed to help eliminate these issues. Everyone has there own way of doing things and must adapt to improve on it. Just My opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
