[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 917568, member: 25383"] Mike's right, and many just refuse to accept it. I use a Neco, plus a couple home brew gauges. They use nothing but standard wand type indicators, and these are well know to be the most accurate. Now for a good seating die, I will say get the Forster and take that part out of the equation. Of course you could order one in 17 Remington, and run the chamber reamer thru the sleeve (easy and accurate). I have found that if a sized case has five tenths run out in it, it will end up at about one thousandth loaded or maybe a couple tenths more. So your sizing operation is where to start. Are your dies perfectly aligned to the shell holder, and also is your die strait with the moving axis. If not, your simply adding error. If the shell holder is .0003" out of square, that error will often come out to .001" when it triangulates out or even more. Machining error alone will often give you that .0003" without the shell holder in place. Try another shell holder from a different brand, and stone the area it seats on lightly to remove any bumps and burrs. gary [/QUOTE]
