Re: Bullet Seating Concentricity - MSch M1903 6.5x54

I suspect the problem may lie with the RN bullet. Round nose bullets, not having a point to index on, will not line up as accurately in the seating die. One simple suggestion, which I have found works for me, is to twirl the case with my left hand while slowly raising the ram with my right hand. This seems to align the bullet with the neck more accurately. If that fails to work, a bullet seater which supports the bullet all the way into the case, such as the Bonanza or RCBS bench rest seater, or a straight line seater, like the Wilson, might be your next possible solution.

Personally, I have never found that type of precision to be of much value in a hunting rifle. I always checked the runout of my match ammunition and segregated the best to shoot at 600 yards, back when I was shooting competitively. The deer I shoot nowadays don't seem to mind less than precision reloading.
