Hi all,
I have a question which has been bugging me for some time. When you load for 500 fly and 1000BR just what is acceptable run out on a loaded round.

I have worked on less than .002 goes in the shooter pile, .002-.0035 goes to sighters and anything greater than .0035 gets pulled apart.

My question is what do you guys deem "acceptable" run out. I am being sloppy or too anal??

By the way Im using the RCBS runout guage. I place the indicator needle just behind the ogive of the bullet.

So feel free to tell me your techniques and opinions.

cheers
Chappo
