[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1214360, member: 28965"] The Speer #9 reloading manual has a chapter on setting up your dies for benchrest accuracy. It also states the main cause of neck runout is locking down the expander spindle off center. The Redding spindle must be run up tight so it will not move. The upper section can be raised like a Forster unit and a rubber o-ring placed under the lock ring allowing the expander to float. My .243 Redding die is equipped with a Redding carbide spindle assembly. The expander floats on the spindle assembly and it is adjusted high like the Forster expander. Below is my RCBS .223 die equipped with the Forster floating and self centering expander, that greatly reduces neck runout. The die is equipped with Lee lock rings with their rubber o-rings that let the die float and self center in the press.
