At your suggestion, I went to Amazon to get the crappy reviews on John's writing. You were reading something other than the reviews I saw....
This is not a "how to" book, nor does it claim to be. One of the promoters for the book claims you must read it twice: once for fun and twice for information. His comment is spot on. Each chapter takes the form of a story but each is also laced with tips and tricks to hunting if you read closely. ... Read full review Sorry shrapnel for not being clearer, I asked you to read the quote a member here sent me in a PM. And I just lost my third attempt here to post, a reply to you and the rest of the forum. There is something wrong with both Explorer and Chrome and this website and today every attempt at posting has crashed with the loss of everything. I'm going to write everything in Microsoft Word and try to cut and paste a longer reply.

Hey man... Something ain't right, you got runout or worse. You need to work on that, tighten up that group... It's embarrassing... DF Just to change the subject. DF yep, I know. But old eyes are a challenge all to themselves. And I have never been one not to embarrass myself with dignity, class, and a handy paper bag to put over my head.

DF OK I will save myself the trouble, you see I went to the grocery store today to get the fixings to make chili and stopped by the magazine rack to pick up some reading material. And you smart ass and everyone else who didn't even post anything to help the OP will never know what beans and the reading material below have in common. All of you would have enjoyed it but now we are back to the same old fecal debris and you idiots can kiss my backside. Sorry shrapnel you have too many midgets here sitting at their computers pretending to be giants and this was the last straw.

Thank you all. Sorry to see you go, I was hoping you would stay around and see how much Saddam Hussein's cat enjoys neck sizing. The problem in this forum is you have so many people here that would bitch if even if you hung them with a new rope.

DF Dirtfarmer, would you show the forum the posting where you gave so much help and advice to the OP on neck sizing. And here is your business card, you dropped it on page two of the posting.

DF Oh come on Dirtfarmer the OP didn't ask Winston Churchill for advice on neck sizing. So just be a good sport and show us the posting where you helped the OP fix his problem. You can do it, I know you can, after all you made so many posts in this thread one of them has to be about neck sizing. Just show us something, anything here about reloading, I mean six pages and and 135 replies in this thread so you "MUST" have said something about neck sizing.

Welcome to my world. I have been told more than once I wasn't relevant, I have lost bets to John, but undaunted, I prevailed. I have also won bets with him and he has always paid off in good humor. You, Ed, for your reasons only, will never see this side of John, my guess is you won't see it with many people at all. The common denominator in that equation is you, not John... that's a great pic!i'll add my .02 worth too--John is a really super guy--and very easy to visit with. over the past few years, i've had calls from guys all over the country, and without fail most all of them comment on how much they respect his writings. he is a top-notch professional... (scrappy shrap is super too--but it's a given, as we've known each other for about 50 years...)
all learning is like a funnel: however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end. the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...

I have a 'Deluxe Set' with the FL,NK, and seater dies.
I have the FL die set up and can get .001-.003 runout after resizing.
I cannot get the NK die to do anything less than .008 - .010
I have adjusted the die up and down, adjusted the stem up and down in the die, even tried a rubber washer between the die and press. It will not do any better.
What am I missing?
-Dustin Neck dies rarely produce straight necks...... Having said that, I have two Redding neck dies (243 and 308), both manufactured in the late 80's, that produce very straight necks. I use the 243 die on 3 different rifles, with WW and Noz brass, and it makes straight necks with both brands of brass and all 3 rifles. I have no idea why those two dies seem to be the exception.......... Casey
