Bullet run out??

[Raptor]

I just purchased a new set of Forester BR dies for my 6.5x55 and I am getting anywhere from .003 to .005 bullet run out. Is there anyway to correct this???

I have their dies in 3 other calibers and have had nothing but great luck with them. I even took the seater out of my 260 die to see if that was the problem but its about the same.

I have cleaned it, reset it, done about everything I can think of. Anyone have any ideas short of sending them back??? Thanks guys!!!!

I keep a 1 inch precision squared piece of round stock to put between the die and the shell holder when setting up a die in the press. Put a bit of pressure on the ram when you tighten down the lock ring, that will keep the die straight in the press.
If all else fails contact the maker...........

Rap:
Try two things! 1. if you are using too much neck tension you will get bad TIR about .002 is enough,unless it is a Gas Gun)
2. Use an "O" ring under the die nut so it will follow the ram and case better.
