[QUOTE="KQguy, post: 274656, member: 9704"] I was having the same problems as you,I had good runout just prior to seating the bullet.I am using a Forster comp. seating die.After experimenting,it just came down to technique,I would try different seating techniques,and write down the results to see which one worked the best.I would seat them with one steady pull,seat a little then rotate 90 degrees,then seat the rest of the way,seat a little,and keep rotating 180 degrees each time,until it was fully seated.I would try several approaches,loading 3 rounds at a time,then write down the average runout from each technique and see which way gave me the best average runout.With my equipment,rotating 90 degrees at a time,until fully seated gave me the best results,about .002'' runout on average.I also started finding the high spot on my runout,and gently applying a little pressure on it with my thumb and by doing that,I can pretty much get my runout down to .0005''.
