Thread: STRAIGHTENING A CROOKED BULLET

Depends whether the neck has radial runout....if not it will never straighten. In that case you will need to re-size it and check it again....if that doesn't work the only solution is fire-forming and starting again.

However if the neck has no runout and the projectile is offset in the neck it is possible in many ways to bring it back into line without detrimentally affecting the performance. Hornady make a runout gauge specifically for that purpose or you can grip the bullet in a lathe jaw and spin the round with a DTI on the case just above the extractor groove and gradually force it into line...whatever works is OK
