bullet runout and Hornady Lock n Load die bushings

[doulos]

Anybody using Hornady lock n load quick change die bushings for rifle rounds?. Are you experiencing more bullet run out with the bushings,than reloading without them?

I'm not sure how they two would be related. The L-N-L bushing system is extremely solid with no slop that I've noticed in the 10+ die sets I've used them with. Runnout would be far more impacted by the dies themselves, the brass and the prep work you do on it. I can't imagine that you'd have any variation compared to a traditional screw in die.

Heck, I think for the average reloader it actually helps maintain consistency. Once I've dialed in my bullet seater, it stays dialed in. I don't have to worry about any subsequent changes in seating depth/setup when switching calibers back and forth.

I'm about to uprade to a Redding press, and I'll likely buy the LNL conversion bushing when I do. It's just that easy.

Ive been using them for pistol cartridges on a Rockchucker for a while now. But was wondering about rifle cartridges.

I just ordered a Redding Big Boss 2. I like the primer disposal method on it.

bullet run out is mostly a result of your brass. Dies do contribute but you will not get low run out with poor brass in good dies.

I had the t 7 redding press,competition dies.

I had checked the run outs with the Sinclair gauge.

I bought hornady l n l press,set it up.

It had about .01 more runout.

So just in my opinion, there is none.

I've run at least 1,000 rounds of 30.06 & 308 through my LNL and can say that run-out is no more than one I check/adjust factory rounds.
