[QUOTE="TnTom, post: 473668, member: 21944"] I hear ya. Its a nagging thing hanging in the back of your mind. If your experiencing 5's, 6's and 7's I'd have to figure that one out for sure. Possible try this. Take ten fired cases and check the runout both the i.d. and the o.d. and magic mark to see if they align. Write down each and record the average runout. Remove the sizing button from your FL die and and run 5 of them through and recheck the runout and see if the runout changes. (Mark how you put them in the shell holder). Dont rotate and resize, just once through. Put the sizing stem back in and do the last 5 samples and see if they look any different (more runout). If possible use once fired brass. Id be curious what the results are. I have found that I can improve my r/o somewhat if I rotate the case while I seat the bullet or if I'm neck sizing I'll rotate 180 and compress the neck twice. Just stay at it. If your seeing the 7's then something should show itself and Id guess its the sizing button tweaking the shoulder. If you can put an indicator on the shoulder dia see what it shows out of the chamber then after resizing with and without the button in place. It get real tedious chasing this element around. .002's out of the chamber is hard to resolve. Its not a good starting point. What kind of barrel are you shooting? [/QUOTE]
