Bullet run out how much matters?

[Idaho-Lefty]

Well Guys,..I did NOT mean, to start an "online Battle" over this, subject as, I do NOT have, a $7,000 "Target" Rifle !
I have an old, T3 Tikka .243 Win., in SS lite, that is, pretty accurate, already. I do see "both sides" between, Uncle Ed and Dusty S. and BOTH are probably, RIGHT,.. for me and my informal,.. Target, Coyote, Deer Huntin' type of, shootin'! Thanks Guys ! This subject, does get pretty DEEP if, you HAVE a serious,.. Target Rifle as others, have explained !
But, .002 Max. TIR, "gets it done" for ME and for MOST of, the "informal Target" shooters & Hunters! I DO want, as close, to "Perfection" as my, Sub $1,200 Rifles with, 4.4-14X Scopes, can produce, tho ! I will start, by "TOSSING' the Expander Ball and using my existing RCBS Die as, it "Mirrors" my Chamber, really well. Every load (even the "Bad", ones !) shoot, Sub MOA but as, I am a bit spoiled NOW and HAVE shot, several Sub 1/2 MOA groups with, the Tikka .243 ! I think that, this is, what, I "need", NOW,.. LOL ! IF, I cannot get, the .002 or less, TIR out of MY current Dies, repeatably,.. I might "spring" for the Forster FL Die/ Match Seater set for, $82.00 or so, as they ARE, highly Rated, Dies, UNLESS, you have, a $4,000 - $7,000+ Target Rifle !
THANKS AGAIN, Guys as, I learned a bit more from, this "Thread" and hope others have, too !

I was hoping that, THIS POST would be, the end of,.. the bickering !
I solved MY Bullet "run-out issues" with, the Forster Dies, as stated in my previous post.
My Bullet/ Neck, TIR's are down to .0015 or, less, even WITH, the expander Ball in place !

There was a man from Tashkent who's reloaded ammo was crooked and bent.
I would say more but I don't want the Admin in my hair.

Idaho-Lefty, you must be almost as smart, good looking and modest as I am.

And you now have very good taste in dies.

The rest of you should watch the video below, the Forster dies produce less runout than Redding bushing dies.

And you can install a Forster expander and spindle assembly on Redding dies to reduce runout.

Thanks,
LOL,.. I am smart enough, NOT to argue much, on these "Boards" ,.. LOL
That's a, LOSE, LOSE, situation, so I just, "move on" instead of arguing, as my Dad taught me that, there are several ways, to skin a Cat !
For my purposes of, informal Target shooting and Hunting, these Dies will work, real fine for, ME !
They are quality, accurate and best of all,.. affordable !
