[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1390391, member: 9772"] I started using the Hornady tool after some lee dies were setting the shoulders back .014 screwed to touch the shell holder. It was on an encore so couldn't really go by the bolt feel method for sizing. Needless to say that brass(350 rem mag) didn't last long. As for the Hornady coal gauge. I use a wooden dowel or coated cleaning rod pushed down the muzzle and while pushing the rod on the Hornady tool push with the dowel. You can work them back and forth and get a good feel for when the bullet is going in the lands. The above video looks basically like the sinclair gauge. The weakness I see here is you are relying on a base to tip measurement and not to the ogive. With some bullets those numbers can vary several thou. [/QUOTE]
