[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 672905, member: 5302"] Good information. All the crooked ammo I straightened up was done with a bullet puller. A .338" bullet collet was used to hold handloaded .30-.338 Win. Mag., 7.62 NATO and commercial .308 Win. ammo by the neck. Their neck diameters were somewhere between .336" and .338" so the case neck holding the bullet was well supported all the way around. Accuracy went from 2 MOA to 1 MOA at 600 yards with the NATO and commercial .308 stuff. Straightened .30-.338 Win. Mag. ammo with new cases went from just under 2 MOA at 1000 to 3/4 MOA after bending the case necks straight in the same collet. If the bullets were damaged in any way, I don't think it was enough to make a difference. Straight ammo (.003" bullet runout or less) shot as accurate as the ammo with straightened bullets. [/QUOTE]
