    Biggest cause of runout is excessive brass movement. Period. I can measure my brass at ANY stage throughout the loading sequence and...

    Mikecr replied to the thread Bullet Runout.
    No, the Sinclair does not measure runout from necks to tips. V-blocks measure full length total runout. They don't conceal anything...

    Mikecr replied to the thread measuring bullet round out.
    Assuming this is a v-block type gauge: You can measure on case necks for case runout. You can measure just in front of case mouths on...

    Mikecr replied to the thread the + and -'s of shoulder angles.
    I know it's a risk. The cost of a reamer, barrel, & some brass. My intent is to NEVER bump shoulders (nor collapse them),, and I'll...

    Mikecr replied to the thread neck thicknesses.
    Thicker brass of a given hardness springs back with more force. And so thicker brass springs back with more variance. Lower neck tension...
