I would think that by straightening ammo, it would change the bullet tensions. Run out is over rated. In 1000 yard BR, my guns have showed no difference in accuracy. Matt
Would tapping the bullet small amount really do damage? 1000th or two is so minimalI use mine to check my loading procedures and equipment. I believe it to be the best on the market although maybe the most expensive. I also don't believe in trying to straighten loaded rounds. I work to get my process to make straight ammo.
I can't answer that, I don't know. So much of what we do and especially so much of what we may read on these forums can never be seen on the target under match conditions.Would tapping the bullet small amount really do damage? 1000th or two is so minimal
Don't press a seated bullit sideways.Would tapping the bullet small amount really do damage? 1000th or two is so minimal
I’ve researched this a lot more then I’ve tested and this response seems to be what I’m hearing from a lot of people who have way more experience then me. I’d like a concentric gauge for curiousity and testing reasons but that’s it. Only thing I’d add is that it’s important to make sure your reloading techniques are sound and you anneal. I begin having tension issues after about 3 to 5 reloadings from new brass and upon appearance it seems significant enough to cause problems.Target showed me no difference between 0.000" and 0.005" bullet run. Just about any press and die should get you 0.005" or better bullet run out.

caseneck won't be round anymore. Work on your process& tools to make streight ammo.
Think of the Pillsbury Dough Boy. You push with your finger on one side and there is going to be a corresponding reaction on the other.
and with all the talk of neck tensions who would dream of straightening a round- wouldnt that make your neck oval and give weird tension?
