I’d say it Shouldn’t make any difference on concentricity if your using it in a “Wilson die” ? There are a lot of other things that affect it.
No change in concentricity
Im just using it in a redding type s. Its only got 1thou runout normally. Just hoping to keep it at least there. Im not sure zero is worth obsessing over
As long as your brass was neck turned beforehand it should still be concentric
I always rotate my brass half way when starting to seat projectiles..eg start them seating,then spin them by hand and finish seating..... fellas much cleaverer than me have poohooed it,then tried it and ate humble pie....you have nothing to loose trying it.
Thought this was standard practice, it’s what I have done for years.Quote:

Redding suggest that any reduction greater than .005" needs to be done in steps and when I tried this the large amount of run out I was seeing by doing it in one step reduced drastically.
Even though it's nice to have run out of .0005" or less I doubt there would be any off the shelf hunting rifle that would show any advantage in accuracy with run out up to .002".
