[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1643208, member: 2736"] The only way you will be able to evaluate the quality of your loading process, is to check for run out. There are many different gauges and ways to do this. If you have an accurate load that meets your requirements, you probably don't need a concentricity/run out gauge. But if you are interested in improving you Accuracy, they are valuable tools. There are ways to improve concentricity, but you have to be able to measure changes in your loading procedure. Group size is not the best way, because we all have our good days and bad days when shooting. If you produce better ammo you will see the difference on your good days. On the bad days, good ammo can tell you that it is just not your day and save lots of frustration and the temptation to change something, when it is the shooters problem. When a rifle suddenly shoots poorly when up to then it shot great, start by telling your self that maybe its not the rifle or the load. if you have another rifle that performs well you might shooting it to see if it is also off it's accuracy level. if it is not , then you can assume that there is something wrong with the rifle or the ammo. We all have bad days. admitting it may be hard but it happens. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
