[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 280396, member: 704"] I disagree about Lapua. I buy it because it's hard to find 284 Winchester. Many people jump on the Lapu bandwagon, but when I measure mine the neck is .013 on one side and on the very same case .016 inch on the other side. I set my Sinclair neck turning tool to .013 and turn them all. Then I size with standard dies, expand with a Lee expansion die, then resize again with RCBS Gold Metal Match bushing dies. Lucky this only needs to be doe once. It may be overkill, but after turning I am .003 off center. I correct that with standard dies because it's necessary to have about .0015 inch play in the bushings to let them be inserted and removed. That can still leave you with undesired run out. Notice in the pic every single case has brass removed. Edit: These are new unfired Lapua.

My bushing dies are still the full length sizing die so I can set the shoulder back .001 or .002 for my hunting ammo. My path has lead me to much the same bullets, dies, etc as you KW. [/QUOTE]
