[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 216812, member: 2693"] I got mine from Sinclair. Check out their website and you'll find all the info you need. Be sure to check your finished loaded ammo for concentricity also. Even when you do your very best loading technique, you can still have variances with runout. Take the ammo with greater than .002 runout (if you get any) and put them at the "back of the line" to use. When I check each one, those that have no runout to .001 get to be in the front of my ammo box. Then the ones that are .002, and so on. Depending on which rifle I'm loading for, I've had to load up 100 rounds just to get 50 good ones and 25 excellent ones. But that is not always the case. I use to seat a bullet, just barely....just enough to where the case mouth grabs it, then back the case out of the die, rotate about 1/3, seat a little deeper, then rotate 1/3 then fully seat the bullet. Now, I do the same thing but with a lot more steps by BARELY turning the brass and BARELY seating the bullet with each pass. I have found that even though this is quite a pain in the ***, my concentricity has greatly improved where greater than 50% of my handloads are now .001 or less. Maybe that is great, maybe I suck, I don't know. But, mark my words, ime the more concentric the ammo, the better it is. [/QUOTE]
