Hmm. I use a Forster Ultimate micrometer seating die for my F-CLASS open .300wm rounds. 1-2 thousandths OAL change matters, especially if it is 0.002.

I get heartburn when my base to shoulder datum measurements are not within a 1/2 thousandth after sizing. On my good ol rock chucker supreme presses (plural) I'm averaging about 1/1000 run-out, and seating is exact as I anneal every case after every firing. With all that it is a consistent 1/8-1/4 moa rifle with my load.

Thats probably asking too much from a turret press. Like i said I don't own one. I have a progressive but I crank out .223, 7.62, 40 s&w etc on that one but am happy with moa and an occasional flyer with the rifle rounds. If a turret is no better than that, then I'll just get a couple more single stage presses to speed up production.

Might try a big boss 2 or co-ax from Forster

Thanks
