[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2248926, member: 10755"] Is this die a comp seater die or just a regular seating die? If it’s a comp seater die, have you adjusted it so that the die body, not the sleeve, is slightly camming over and then have the lock ring tightened? It’s important to remove all slack from the die/press threads and the die linkages to get everything aligned squarely. If you don’t, you get what’s called tolerance stacking. Sometimes, even with a VLD stem, it’s where it contacts on the ogive that causes the runout. You can try forming the stem to the bullet using Devcon, you wax up a bullet, fill the stem with Devcon after lightly sanding the inside then push a bullet in there and let it cure and trim off the excess. The bullet will now fit and won’t go off to either side while seating. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
