[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 292663, member: 9215"] "wondering if I switched to wilson dies and an arbor press if that would help with accuracy?" Maybe. A little. But not automatically, nor by any massive amount. Hand dies, neck turning, meticulous case selection and prep, etc., all contribute a little to the total result, none of it is magic that will decrease groups be a large percentage. Your Foster dies do as well as can be done in a threaded press, and that's very well indeed. Few, if any, factory rifles will ever see any difference from the use of hand dies. The Lee Collet Neck Sizer is likely the best neck die for factory rifles. Beats any bushing dies, IMHO. I believe the excellant Foster HOT-100 neck turner is as effective as any of it's type and the price isn't outrageous. A concentricity gage is perhaps the most helpful tool for confirming and correcting any bullet run-out problems you may have. Sinclair's is perhaps the best, over-all, and not too costly to justify itself. Using the Hornady LnL case length and seating gages are helpful for setting your FL sizer and confirming your seating depth properly. Get a copy of "Precision Shooting - Reloading Guide" for a LOT of good information. Sinclair and MidwayUSA both have had it in stock in the past, don't know about now. [/QUOTE]
