I want to improve the concentricity of my future rifle loads.
I had access to a Redding and a Hornady tool and measured some of my previous loads.
I realize the Redding measures relative to the case body. Most of my loads were running about .005-.007" T.I.R.
The same loads when checked on the Hornady tool were run-out is relative the cartridge base. These measured .001-.002" T.I.R.
So I am just trying to hear from others what you find as the most useful measurement basis? It all might come out in the wash in the future as I reduce my neck run-out and improve the bullet seating.
