[QUOTE="Mc Fraser, post: 1649609, member: 106529"] Finally, all my equipment arrived! I used Redding series A dies, Lee carbide, Lee cast iron and RCBS RC supreme press. Win cases and 140 SBT Sierra bullets. To measure concentricity, I used the Sinclair gauge. The brass was fired formed with very minimal runout; the bullets were measured as well with zero runout. I used 10 cases for each test. 1. Lee press & Lee NS die 1-2.5 thou runout 2. RCBS & Lee NS die" 1-2.5 thou runout although more have 1.5 to 2 thou 3. Lee & RCBS press & Redding NS die 4-7 thou runout with imperial wax. Two cases were run through the die multiple times and increased the runout 4. Lee & RCBS press with Lee seating die 5-10 runout measured at the tip and close to case mouth 5. Lee & RCBS press with Redding seating die 3-5runout measured at the tip and close to the case mouth When seating the bullet, I used some of the recommended techniques didn't seem to make a difference.
