[QUOTE="Guest, post: 27499"] 45 degrees is standard for most reamer makers. 1 degree throat is better because it gives more of a range in seating depth options while still being able to extract a loaded round without leaving the bullet in the barrel. I would pitch the Stoney point tool, spin the bullets in fine steel wool, and seat the bullets based on the neck tension I was using and the results on the target. .020" into the lands is a good place to start. .3083 is a little too tight, I would prefer .3086" for freebore. Get rid of the expander ball. JUST DO IT. Please save yourself a lot of hassle and invest in a full length neck bushing die. All bullets shoot better when seated into the lands properly. Consistent neck tension is very important, turn necks so that the outside diameter of the neck is .0012" larger after the bullet is pressed in place than before it was pressed in place. This means you will have to have the right sized bushing. Good Luck [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
