[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1846176, member: 101859"] Centering a bullet in the bore? Thats not the job of the case. No matter how you size. Typically a freebore diameter is .0005" over nominal bullet diameter. In the real world you usually have .0001-.0002" of clearance around the bullet in the freebore in a well built rifle. Now if this is a sloppy rifle or a zero free bore then the case may have more effect on the bullet. As soon as pressure builds the necks start expanding and no matter how straight and aligned things were, you just dont have control over when happens as the neck opens. Keep in mind, full length sizing PROPERLY only reduces the case size a thousandth or two. Getting a die that works with your chamber is important. Well cut chambers usually work quite well with off the shelf full length dies like the redding s-die. Sloppy wallowed out chamber will need a custom die. [/QUOTE]
