[QUOTE="blacknzr1, post: 1176815, member: 41187"] I have hornady which a lot of people say arnt very good. I have them for two rifles. I have polished the expander ball and that's it. I also have the micrometer seating tops which were cheap enough yet the numbers are a bit hard to read. Both rifles shoot quarter moa at 100. The run out on a loaded round is about .5 to 1.5 thou. The other day I thought I would get clever and buy more dies. A lee neck collet die and body die to try and improve my runout. End result no change. And I have come to the conclusion it's brass neck thickness where I'm getting runout not my hornady dies. And I'm not sure I want to get into neck turning. So I have gone back to the hornady dies. So what I'm trying to say is, how far do you think you will go with reloading maybe as far as neck turning? Then maybe buy the expensive dies? Happy with 1/4 moa grouping? Try a cheaper die? [/QUOTE]
