I just picked this up to add to the reloading process. I did 25rds of my match load and saw a consistent .0015 ammout of runout across them all with one that was .003. I corrected the runout to the best I could (down to <.001) on each round. Is my time spent doing this going to actually make a difference in my Ammo quality?
Hornady concintricity tool?

I like the Hornady unit for correcting runout, but not for measuring it. It may work, but I prefer using my Sinclar to find the high side and correct with the Hornady. Hoping that I won't have to do much correcting now that I switched to Lee Collet sizing dies and L.E. Wilson chamber-type arber press seater dies.
I'm with you! I bought the same setup but quickly returned to my Sinclair tool for measuring and will soon make my own adjustment jig.
This may not sit will with those that own the tool (I own the tool), but it is total crap. The method used to check runout is not consistent and pushing on it to 'correct' things is just deforming the case mouth/denting the bullet. It is so frigging lame that I won't even try to sell mine. It just sits on a shelf as a reminder that buying shit online after a few drinks is a bad idea.
I have no experience with the Sincair, but I use the 21st Century base and wheel, with a Brown and Sharp. It never lies. You need to check your brass after it has been fired, after sizing, and after seating to figure out if you have a problem with your chamber or reloading process.

Do not correct run out by bending it straight! You are destroying neck tension.
If you shoot over a chronograph you'll see the problem.
I have colored .004" run out bullets in red and they grouped with the rest.
Do not fix run out on loaded rounds...figure out why it is happening in the first place.
