    Type-s FL die runout - Help, what am I doing wrong?

    I feel the exact same way. With all the money spent for bushings and the die, the results are sub-standard. Here is what I have done to try and get better concentricity using the Redding S die and bushing (the concentricity was usually .001 after firing, then after the die the concentricity...

    Type-s FL die runout - Help, what am I doing wrong?

    The exact same thing is happening to me. I use my bushing would be numbers facing down, and the expander removed. Yet the run out is about. 003. With my Dillon dies and no bushing, runout is .001. I am also stumped.

    Gruning Precision Rifles

    I just spoke with Jim for a lengthy period of time. He is extremely knowledgeable and has been building rifles for many years. I believe he told me he's built close to 19,000 custom rifles. He is sending me a quote for a custom 223 that I'm looking to have built. He did tell me that his rifles...

    Best For Concentricity.......Turning or Reaming Necks??

    Most folks are turning necks for concentricity. But why wouldn't reaming the inside of the necks work better? The inside of the neck is what holds the projectile, not the outside of the neck. So, which is better for concentricity.......neck turning OR neck reaming????

    Turning Necks---Who's Doing It? POLL

    So, if I turn them, will my Redding S bushing FL die be fine, AND with or without the expander button.

    Turning Necks---Who's Doing It? POLL

    Will you expound on this? Does using the expander cause more runout (less concentricity)? If I take the expander out (I have a floating carbide one in my Redding S die), would neck turning for concentricity be as likely needed?

    Turning Necks---Who's Doing It? POLL

    I'm using Redding Type S dies With the expander....will this still require neck turning? I am a bit confused about the use of the expander as it relates to neck turning. I thought if decided to neck turn that I would just measure the diameter of the neck with a ball caliper and turn to...

    Debating if I want to or not. Other than necessity for tight chambers, how many here are turning their necks?

    H4350 leads ?

    My buddy and I just bought 10 lbs of Varget. He's really good at bird-dogging powder. He also found 10 lbs of H4350, and I asked him to get 4 LBS for me. You're correct, we have to be persistent and ready to buy as soon as the stuff is in stock!

    H4350 leads ?

    Yesterday afternoon I bought 4 lbs. They had 10 pounds , but I also bought 4 pounds of Varget from them. I just checked and it's all gone now. We still have to be in the right place at the right time, but it seems powder availability is slowly loosening up.
