I use the collet die, bump die set up with good results. .002 loaded round runout on down with good brass and unturned necks.

I consider anything at or under .002 runout very good, a reading that gives nothing up on target. Remember any runout in the case neck, say .001 and down will be doubled after loading no matter what unless the neck is turned. You just cant get zero runout if theres any variance in neck thickness.

I was wondering the same thing Scott. If you are going to be so anal about things as to even measure the run out seems like you would want it to be the same for a sighter round as the match rounds. But then I never measure run out lol.

What good does using sub-opitmal rounds for sighters or practice do? I think it leads to negative training since the information they provide is not reliable.

The article states the expander ball causes run-out. Im afraid without it your just leaving the run-out inside the neck rather then outside the neck. The cases will show much less run-out until the bullet is seated then its back again. Ive had great luck with Foster BR dies`s. .002 and down finished run-out without neck turning.
