[QUOTE="Jimm, post: 91726, member: 9"] [ QUOTE ] Do you have a concentricity gauge? That will give you more info on your loads than anything. Secondly, and probably most importantly, you can ditch the expander in your sizer die. Regardless of how good it is, it can still impose RO on the neck. Consistent neck tension is certainly a key to consistent accuracy. I use a lube to coat the inside before bullet seating and it works fine. When you are in the process of seating the bullet, do you seat it in one stroke of the press or do it in rotations a little at a time? I start the bullet seating just enough to where the neck grabs the bullet, then back out and rotate the brass 1/4 turn, then seat a little deeper, and so on until there are about 4-5 rotations during the seating process. I also turn the necks. [ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] . Good luck. [/ QUOTE ] What he said ! [/QUOTE]
