Bullet runout question

Lou,

It's a given with me that I will not proceed to seat a bullet into a case unless I have first checked the sized case for concentricity. I have two Sinclair gages on my work bench.....one set at a length to check the bare sized case, and the other gage set to check the length of the finished cartridge at the bullet. I'm with you that I will not use a button sizer either.

HOWEVER, I do concede that you still would have me beat at the reloading bench! :) I will not fuss with having dies custom made. And as for the issue of turning case necks...... Last year for the first time I went and bought a K&M case turner just to satisfy my curiousity. I did my first couple of cases with it to see how it works and I reacted immediately to it with a grin and an exclamation "Boy, isn't this neat Randall!!"....... And then I proceeded to order my reamer from Dave at Pacific in a non-turn neck size. :D

Thanks for sharing that input with me. It's interesting to learn what other fellow precision hand-loaders are doing out there in this hobby.

Randall,
You're welcome.

Lou
