[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 421626, member: 13085"] WOW. 16 replies and 2400 views all with zero field data reported thus far since dec 2008??? Maybe there is a reason for the lack of "[B]field data[/B]".... Maybe the hornady gizmo (certainly not a novel idea) just doesn't really matter all that much in the big picture. Maybe you can shoot better with 0.005 runout than I can with 0.001. So many other factors to consider. I had near perfect ammo today and had trouble even getting on paper due to inclement weather conditions. Send us your field data, but I'll need a double blinded study with both positive and negative controls including ALL external factors controlled (weather, temp, humidity, altitude, distance, shooter to shooter variation, guns used, scopes, just to name a few ...) all data with sufficient statistical power, repetition and publication to make a clear choice. This is apparently necessary since all everyone seems to report is "conjecture & anecdotal information". I don't use the tool because I don't like the thought of fixing mistakes at the end of my work (both fact and opinion). When we build a foundation for a house, we lay the concrete straight and true at the start (hopefully) and don't try to fix a crappy foundation with fancy carpentry. Same is true with reloads (this is my opinion). I hope you can prove me a liar and tell me that all my time in the reloading shop has been wasted and I can stop all this mindless drabble and I can just build crappy ammo from the start and wave a magic hornady wand over them to make them perfect. Maybe we didn't answer your question directly, but 2400 other viewers over many months haven't either, so I believe (again my opinion) you have your answer... retrospectively. [/QUOTE]
