[QUOTE="mikemo4032, post: 2130581, member: 85777"] I manage small SD&ES on my 6mm's shooting unturned Lapua brass and very light tension (1 to 1.5 thou.) with bushings and no button.My zero checks yields about .25 to .375 at the 100yd. range. Like Tiny Tim mentioned, I can't shoot much better than that. I see very small ES&SD in my 6mm's using Redding bushing dies, no buttons, no mandrels and very light tension, about 1 to1.5 thou. My runout is about 1.5 to 3 thou. At zero checks, I am able to shoot .25 to .375 at the hundred range and as Tiny Tim mentions, that is about as tight as am capable of shooting. Good thing, it's all I need. I should mention that on occasion I've goofed up, installed a bushing that was too tight by several thousands and saw no appreciable difference out to 600 yds, maybe more I don't recall.I suppose this upped my pressure a bit but I don't load on the ragged edge so it seems moot to me. I get the whole squeeze every bit of consistency/accuracy from every round routine but for me and what I do it gives me acceptable results. [/QUOTE]
