[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1803958, member: 5302"] Several people have proved bullet seaters align bullets to the case neck axis. There is a couple thousandths clearance from the seater die to bullet and case neck. Little, if any, neck straightening happens. If you've ever watched a bottleneck case neck position in the chamber neck, you'll notice it centers perfectly from ejector and firing pin force raising the case body off the chamber bottom when in the firing position with the case shoulder well centered in the chamber shoulder aligning the case neck in the chamber neck center. If case headspace is .002" less than chamber headspace, there probably isn't enough room for the case body to touch the chamber bottom anyway; case won't slide back far enough. You'll first need to cut the barrel off at the chamber mouth. This decades old myth is easily dismissed. [/QUOTE]
