[QUOTE="J300UM, post: 622308, member: 9866"] The other day I borrowed a friends concentricity guage and checked some of my old 264wm loads. Runout averaged .006-.008. At the time the rifle was all stock and while I did shoot some nice groups with it, it was inconsistant. I just got the rifle back from the smith with a new tube, blueprinted action, new stock, etc... I want to be able to reach 1k consistantly with this rifle and I don't think the old RCBS dies are going to do me any favors. Would I benefit from going with a standard Redding 2 die set or would I be better off paying the extra for the type s deis? If I go with the type s deis will I need to start turning the necks as well? BTW, I checked some my other calibers loaded with RCBS, Hornady, Lee and runout was pretty much .003 or less so I'm convinced the runout with the 264 loads is mostly from the dies. [/QUOTE]
