Default RE: runout driving me nuts

I tried the bushing dies too, but I still wasn't happy with the results. Then I bought a Lee collet neck die (which cost quite a bit less BTW) and my ammo is now straighter than it's ever been. The thing I like most about these dies, however, is that they make reloading simpler because you don't have to lube you cases and that makes reloading more enjoyable for me. Because of the unique way this die sizes the neck, neck turning is not necessary to achieve concentricity (when measured on the bullet). But I neck turn anyway because I want uniform tension on the bullet all the way around. This is a neck die, of course, so if it's full length sizing you want to do, then this is not the die for you.
