[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1132190, member: 74902"] How bad is bad? 1" at 100 yards? 2" at 100 yards? You have to be systematic when working up loads. 1) Pick a load about 5% below max. Use that load and adjust seating depth for best group. 2) Use that seating depth and create loads in .3 gr increments and to test for best group. Could be the dies, but wouldn't be too quick to blame them. I use Redding sizing wax and redding graphite for neck lube. The expander needs to pull back out somewhat smoothly. You may just need to lube the necks better. Could always get a Sinclair concentricity gauge to see how much runout the dies are causing while sizing the necks. [/QUOTE]
