I've been using Hornady custom grade dies for my 204 and I'm getting too much runout. I've tried everything from how I prep my brass to readjusting my dies. I've decided after way too much time at my bench that it has to be the dies. So I "bit the bullet" and ordered Redding Competition Bu...

No I dont have a progressive press. What is the difference between the Type S dies and the regular competition dies? I noticed the type S were cheaper. Any insight on bushings?

Ok thanks guys, I'm deciding between Redding and Lee dies and hopefully that will reduce my runout problem. I'm having trouble finding a Lee die set that has a FLS and the collet neck sizer. I'm finding that I need to buy two die sets to get what I want, then I'll have two seating dies. The Redding ...

I still am not sure runout is the problem but it could be. How would I fix runout in the loading process. I turn my load a half turn...

I'm new to this site but love what i've seen of it. I was hoping that I could get some help here. I've been having trouble getting better than and inch and a quarter groups with my AR-15 in .204. I've got a 24in heavy barrel with a Leopold 4.5-14X50 scope. I'm beginning to think maybe my brass is a ...
