The redding is a full length with tapered expander. Not a bushing die. I will have to measure the starline

It's likely due to just what Bob said. If your brass has varying neck thickness, the case mouth is already non-concentric with the case body before you even start. FL resizing only makes the neck OD run true to the body, so if neck thickness varies around the circumference, your case mouth runs out with the body even if the body and neck OD runs perfectly true. The bullet locates in the neck ID. The expander button follows the neck ID, so if it was forced off center in the sizing stage by inconsistent neck thickness, the sizer button will follow and can only kick it off center even more.
The solution is to either use higher quality brass or neck turn just to the point you get full clean-up. |

You guys seem to be pretty opinionated on starline brass. Have you guys used it yet?
I opened another box of 50 starline. Sampled 10 of them. Neck thickness was actually quite good. .0155 to .014. I measured 10 of the lapua and they were .0125 to .0145. I have shot a lot of lapua in my .308 over the years and have neck turned a lot of them. Never thought they were that spectacular in that regard. That is why i was so suprised those round were so straight. I did nothing special to those brass for prep other than stretched them out from .22 caliber to .26 caliber. They are a little thinner now but hopefully will be okay. I measured some new hornady 6.5 creed cases. .014 .0155. They were quite good too. I turned 1000 federals and 500 lapuas once. Way to much work for my accuracy needs. Never again. And yes i used a micrometer not a caliper. And they were all ran through a Lee collet sizer die. I have a hornady full length bushing die. But it is set up for a different .308, i will have to try a few starline in it and see if it makes them any straighter. Edited by supertool73 - July/20/2017 at 22:00 |

Actually, I have no opinion of Starline brass either way. I don't recall an instance where I've ever used it. Just saying that variable neck thickness is one of the main culprits of bullet to case runout.

I don't either yet. I bought some shortly after it was available. Just starting to try it out now.

The Redding competition seater die is an excellent die and in MHO far superior to the RCBS. I have noticed that on any brass concentricity can be held within 0.001" runout with the Redding die. Had an incident where I bought a set of 204 RCBS dies and happened to notice a loaded round roll on the table. The bullet wobbled as the case turned. I checked it on a glass top table and sure enough the bullet wobbled. I had loaded about 10 cases by that point and checked all 10 on the glass top. 4 of the 10 had a noticeable wobble. I got a Redding comp seater die and the problem was solved. Have used them ever since. You get what you pay for and in the long run it is less expensive to get the Redding dies in the first place, because you will quit using the RCBS stuff.

I haven't got real picky about checking my loaded ammo, but I haven't had a problem with my Hornady dies in muy match- chambered creed either. Those have been the only dies that rifle has seen too.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
