[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 478692, member: 20443"] So the interapid indicator is actually something I was looking for but didnt know what they were called. I also didnt realize how expensive they were. So I was thinking if I got one of the interrapid indicators I would need a way to turn the round to measure uniformity anyway. Would it be a bad option to buy the redding case neck gauge and then when I upgrade to the interapid use the mandrels from that, so either replace the gauge on the redding with the interaid or cut the top of and just use the stand part that spins the case. Or another option would be to use a case trimmer, because it also spins the case and set the indicator to measure of that, not while trimming but just to spin the round. The concern I have with the case trimmer methods is I wonder how much error I would get because of the quality, ability of the trimmer to turn the case perfectly. I saw that redding has a case trimming "lathe" which was expensive though, but may have the consistency to accurately measure with the interrapid gauge. I'm not trying to short cut just trying to do what I can with what I can afford. Redding gauge 70-80$ I can do but an interapid gauge 170$ and up, plus the redding 2400 case trimming lathe 230$ is hard to swing right now. I need a good trimmer probably anyway but for now I have been using the lee trimmers that use the rod, cutter, and electric drill with holder. [/QUOTE]
