Does anyone feel bullet runout can contribute to the flyers problem?
Here is me jumping up and down raising my hand with a big yes. I did alot of tests on this, with my 308 and 300RUM's, and segargated the ammo based on runout, and the runs with runout less than .001", had virturally no flyers, compared to 50% of the time the ones with >.007". I think I did show on these two guns, that anything less than .005" runout made virturally no difference.
But also found on guns like my 7mm08 and 270, runout didn't make a difference. Only thing I could figure is my bullets are .002" from the lands.
None of this is gospel but is what it is. Free info on the internet.
Guess I should have got this all at once......bc says at .002 he didn't notice much if any difference. At say .020,the bullet has a greater distance to head to th side of the bore and to take on a deflected demeanor down the barrel if it has been loaded off-axis
