Re: Concentricity woes... Tx_Flyboy - I checked every round for RO with the Hornady Tool and corrected to sub .002" (if possible). The RO straight from the die was anywhere from .001" to .006". One out of ten rounds needed correcting to hit this .002" number I had in my head as "PASS"...

Re: Concentricity woes... Mallard / X-fan - Brilliant! All of this dialog makes sense. The part that confused the hell out of me is measuring the RO of varying parts of the case and bullet. Sometimes the bullet is straighter than the neck. I'm telling myself right now to GET OVER IT! lol...

Re: Concentricity woes... My buddy is going to use his Hornady Concentricity tool to <span style="font-style: italic">increase</span> the RO on his pet load. More data to come...

Re: Concentricity woes... I was thinking the same thing. I can't speak for Redding, but I am a business man. As a business man I would guess it is a response to market demand. Serious benchmark shooters demand top performance and words like "match" and "minimum tolerance" reach this market...

Re: Concentricity woes... Reality strikes! Any hunter knows is it VERY hard to shoot sub 1 MOA as you describe. I'm not sure I could with any consistency. The environment plays a role as well. Fortunately, the killzone on a deer is say 6-8 MOA at 100 yds. Since I love reloading, I have no...

Re: Concentricity woes... Carbide expander is on the way. Thanks!

Re: Concentricity woes... Good discussion. OK, so I called Redding. I explained the info above and their response was ".005 that is very very good." I was taken back and speechless. He explained that Redding's position is that concentricity has little effect on accuracy. Few benchrest...

Re: Concentricity woes... New gun, new everything. I have not fired the brass a second time. The best "potential" (ill explain in a minute) load was with new Winchester brass, resized due to dented mouths, Federal Match Primers, de-burred flashholes, zero bullet jump, 65.5g of AA4350, 180g...

Re: Concentricity woes... Thank you very much for taking the time to respond and offer help! VMAN - My Hornady tool doesn't allow me to do check an empty case only loaded. It sounds like I should first invest in the Sinclair or Hornady tool? I am eager to try my hand at putting a bushing die...

Re: Concentricity woes... Thanks for the input. Big differences between the Forester, RCBS and Lee dies. I've noticed the expander rod is always centered in the die which seems like a problem. This is the reason I've tried so many different ways to center it besides just tightening it's...

Guys, I could use some help. Reloading for a bone stock Savage 16 Bear Hunter in 300WSM. Using new Winchester brass (that's all I could find at the time), once fired in this gun, with standard Redding dies. I'm having to use Hornady Concentricity tool to fix nearly every completed round. The RO...

Re: Hunting Rifle We have pathetic little coastal deer in CA. The 308 works great, but avoid any tipped bullets like Nosler BT's and the like. The Nosler BT's are, in my opinion, a terrible hunting bullet, because of the MASSIVE meat damage. If you use a Partition or basic spitzer you should...

Re: 40 s&w bullets I've loaded this caliber for almost 20 years. Yikes! Check out Midway for Nosler bullets (great price on all calibers). I personally shoot a lot of 135gr with Power Pistol. Accuracy is excellent in my S&W 4006. All recreational shooting... I enjoy shooting clay pigeons...
