BC- seems like I read one of your posts about reducing bullet runout by partially seating the bullet and then rotating the case before final seating. I gave it a try and it seems to make a difference
Another fella on here gave even better advise. He said to take out the spring holding the shell holder and let it float. This right here has helped more than rotation. I tracked down alot of runout came from slop in shell holders. So If you can float the case and let it self center with the die, it helps alot.
I took out the spring that retains the shell holder some time ago, and use a rubber 0-ring to keep the shellholder in place on the ram. Is that what you are doing? It keeps it floating and self-centering.
