Pleased to report my Hornady dies arrived and my 6.8 spc runout issue is much improved. I really like the features designed into the series 3 2 die set. Runout with the cheap rcbs dies averaged .004 with a few at .007. Average with the Hornady is about .001 after loading 30 rounds! Had 1 that was .0055 and I checked the brass on the runout gauge and it was .0075 out. That brings up another question. Most people say outside neck turning would not improve accuracy on my factory chambered barrels. But it is hard for me to believe that some neck turning would not help fractionally. I wont keep a rifle if it does not consistently fire cold barrel 3 shot groups moa. Most of mine will do .5-.7 groups off a good bench. I cant afford another rifle for awhile but I think the next one is going to be a custom chamber and some bushing dies to go with it.
