[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 980659, member: 10755"] There are far easier ways to reduce, but not eliminate , runout caused by a seating die. As you start seating, only go about a third in, lower the ram enough to rotate the case by hand and rotate it a 1/4 turn, seat another third in, repeat until fully seated. You may only need to rotate the case one 1/2 turn, it depends where the runout is coming from. You can also size only a portion of your neck so that the unsized portion aligns the case to the centre of the chamber more precisely. Have done this for years without the need of buying expensive benchrest style equipment for my FACTORY CHAMBERED HUNTING RIFLES. My target/long range comp rifles are a different story, but they have custom chambers with tight necks and minimum chambers, they also need modified shell holders that have been turned true to the press ram. A Redding Type S bushing die is a good way to help with concentricty, whether you choose to neck size or not, you should get the Redding Deluxe Die set in the Type S bushing style. The reason, you can use the Neck die on new or once fired cases and have the EXACT amount of neck tension you require on the first shot. Redding is what I use for my hunting rifles and what I recommend. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
