Mr. Bill,

It would be interesting to document the results on paper. If it is a bullet misalignment issue, a detailed examination of the dies would be in order.

Some of the writings in Prescision Shooting years ago lead me to wonder whether straightening brass really solves the problem. If the case is banana shaped or not substantially uniform in thickness, I have to wonder if they stay straightened when subjected to 50k PSI.

The result on the target is what matters though and it will be interesting to see your results.

Get out your NECO and your Sinclair runout gauges and do some tests. I found that what barely registered using the Goad setup was quite readable on the Sinclair and vice versa. Which is better? It’s too cold here right now to get to the range to see, but I will be checking when things improve.

Ive used a much less fancy method of attaching the bullet into a small hole drilled in the wooden bench and giving it a bit of push in the needed direction. With some practice it works out.

I can say that I have one and love it. It has greatly reduced my groups compared to not checking runout. I like it because you can reconfigure it to check neck runout with and unloaded round also.

Boyd you have some good comments. I think it just my video that is at fault. There is really a lot more to his Gauge then is shown in my video. I will have to get together with him sometime and do a real proper video with better lighting and audio.
