I use this press when adjusting seating depth at the range

As for seating to touch , If I recall he has a stock Rem 700 ?? If so he isn't likely going to get the bullet to touch the lands with out it almost falling out of the case . 700's are famous for there looong throats
That's what I meant.No 4 1/4 is distance center to center of furthest apart rounds, ES was 74 fps.
the seating depth being used isn't that bad. Start going in and out .003 and .005 and get those groups to go round. Playing with action screw torques might work without doing any fiddling with the load
Thanks Unclenick, I do occasionally check concentricity with the hornady concentricity tool, it usually runs from .001 to .003 runout, which I'm not sure is horrible
but I really don't want to use the device on that tool that tries to push the bullet sideways to be more concentric, how does that change the neck tension consistency?
My seater die is a RCBS competition seating micro adjustable die, maybe I need something else.
