    How much runout are you getting?

    Take the expander out of the die, Redding S dies normally come with another decapping pin retainer, put that in.
    I'd be surprised if it's the resizing die, as others have said you need to check the run out at each stage to see where it's coming from, another trick is when you seat the bullet, seat it halfway then raise the ram & turn the case 180deg then finish seating the bullet.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    I get less runout using Wilson bushings (in the Redding Type -S neck dies) instead of the Redding ones. Don't know why, the only difference being the Wilson bushings are tapered .0005. I also size in two steps with two separate bushings; may or may not make a difference in your rifle.

    Have you tried replacing the spring that holds the shell holder with a rubber band?
