    Excessive bullet run out. How to remedy?

    SAPPER26, Mikecr is right on the money. I used to straiten my brass the way you are, never had any problem's through 1000's of round's. I now use the Hornady concentricity gauge that has A built in straitening fixture. With it you are able to get them to .0005 or under with no problem, that...
