Re: BEST BULLET SEATER?
Yeah, okay. So, if you have a 29 dollar set of dies producing significant runout, just buy a hundred dollar concentricity gauge from Hornady. One more step. <sigh>
This stuff is always peeling back layers and in truth, it's only when there is an awareness, one step at a time because much is not necessary. Be realistic. You have to figure out if your gear will benefit from precision techniques and very expensive tools, or if it won't make any difference, on paper. Practical. Depends what you are trying to do.
When I first started, I spent considerable time at the range testing all sorts of different bullets and powder and seating depths and (of course) the primers. It didn't occur to me that my Model 77 Ruger was only capable of so much, and after that, I was just wasting money, when consistant half inch accuracy wasn't in the cards.
On the other hand, many feel that the confidence is worth the effort; it's all in your head. BB
