Thread: Fixing Run-out

With projectiles seated using the conventional Redding die, the run-out on the projectile was 0.06mm for a Hornady 105, 0.04mm for a Nosler 100 and a whopping 0.14mm (thats 5.5 thou in imperial right??) for the Sierra 110. I'm seating everything a little bit, then turning 180 degrees for the final bit. Its gotta be something I'm doing . . . .

Then ditch the Sierra 110. Close to zero run out in a factory chamber doesn't achieve any better accuracy over run out of .002" in my experience.
