[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1538831, member: 83267"] I like cheap Lee dies and in fact I think their collet die is second to none for low runout. I have had to polish the inside of some of them on occasion but that's not a big deal. Runout in itself is a odd duck most guys couldn't tell a difference on paper between .0005 of run out and .005 now get that runout in the .015 range and then one might see a difference. Neck turning is also a huge waste of time and money for most folks they will never see the benefits of on paper. If your OCD then have at it and enjoy. I have and like a great deal a Redding micrometer seating die but I shoot a wide range of bullets in my AR's and it's fantastic for making any seating depth changes. In my 6.5 Creedmoor I use the cheap Lee dies and can shoot sub MOA in a gas gun but never have to touch the die settings because I always use the same bullet. I have nothing agianst RCBS , Lyman or Hornady dies and own some of them also. Powder charges if your actually in an accuracy node do not need to be weighed a .1 grain difference that a good quality powder throw such as the Redding can throw is good enough. In many of my accuracy node loads I can shoot for instance 24gr 24.3gr and 24.6gr groups and a composite group of all three powder charges and get the same result on paper. I load to the middle of such a node so any minor differences like temperature or a slight difference in powder volume or even a change in powder lot will have minimal change on my point of impact.
