I'm glad you posted those links. You just saved me $50 on each set. ($150 between the 308, the 7-08, and the 223 I plan on switching out.) Thanks!
The middle link is the same as the first link. Which seating die were you mentioning? (Although I'll most likely just stick with the one without the micrometer because I'll just set it for the one bullet.)
Guys, I'm still not understanding why I should get the concentricity gauge if I'm getting the better dies. If MD is getting .0005 runout, it sounds like any potentially crooked ammo problems would be fixed with just getting the two dies in Mathman's link and saving the $87 and shipping for the gauge. I'm not trying to argue, I'm just trying to understand what I'm missing.
Two more questions:
MD said neck turning. Is this something I need to do? It sounds like it is.
With the annealing, and assuming neck turning, how long before you consider your Lapua brass "tired" and toss it?
Thanks again. I don't think I can wait till next month and I will probable order either the gauge or the dies Monday.
