need new 223 die set

[chet]

after a few years loading the 223, i notice that when i fs the 223 case with the regular Lee 223 fs die, i get too much run out, so i want to get a new 223 die set with better tolerances to hold a tighter run out, was looking at the lyman set with the carbide ball expander, anyne using this set and how is the runout, or any other better choices, i already have a neck sizer, so i dont need a die set with a neck sizer.

Chet , why not get a full length bushing die ? Redding , Wilson or something...and keep the expander ball in the die box

If sizing down necks but then not expanding ‘em, half of any neck wall thickness difference betwixt a side and the side 180° opposite it translates into that amount of seated bullet runout.

Redding are great dies, i recently bought a whidden fls with bushing in 6brx it is really nice, highly polished it5 almost feels so smooth you'd think you could go with out lube, if your getting high bullet run out you need a better seating die Redding competition will solve all problems with seating

Most rifle cartridge case and bullet alignment is determined in the resizing die. You need a resizing die that closely matches the dimensions of your brass to minimize runout.
