[QUOTE="overdriv, post: 91758, member: 1907"] Derick, yes I know what run out is, just drew a blank when I read RO. I am very interested in loading accurate and consistant rounds, but I feel there is a point where one reaps diminishing returns. And I realize for serious long range shooting one must do everything possible to reach ones goals. I can certainly understand how RO could effect the group. I first tumble brass then decap with a universal decapping die. At the same time I clean the primer pocket and remove the crimp if it's military. I then full length resize the brass with an RCBS die. It has been suggested to not use the expander ball. I'll try that but not sure it's the right thing to do, but i'll try it. After resizing, I delube the brass by soaking it in citric cleaner mixed with water. When dry, I measure to determine if they need trimmed. I realize I should know what the diminsions of my chamber is to properly trim, but I have been trimming if they are at or over 1.760, then trim to 1.750. I lack a lot of the tools needed to make these measuments. But I will get them as I can afford them. I set the sizer die as per the directions that come with the dies. I seat the bullet with the standard seating plug that comes with RCBS dies. I am a bit unsure whether the seating plug is touching the meplat or the ogive during seating. This I need to resolve and not sure what to do with the seating plug. Could I relieve the inside top of the seating plug so the bullet would be sure of seating with the ogive?? Please don't think I am disrespectful to your methods or knowledge with my comments. I do appreciate the help and I do want to persue accuracy. I just need to do it a bit at a time. [/QUOTE]
