[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 399949, member: 376"] For a while, I went with the (then Stoney Point) Hornady LnL tool method, as I already had a box full of them, what was a couple more inserts? ;) With the radiused edges on the holes in the inserts, I had a hard time getting consistent readings (as others have mentioned) although with enough time (and practice) I could usually get decent results. Early last year I happened upon a good deal on a used Tubb comparator with a couple sets of inserts (.22 & 6mm). I'm not sure of the exact relationship between them... I gather that the Tubb is a close copy of the Buhay tool, and I'm not entirely sure where Hoover fits in, other than when I ordered new inserts from Tubb's company and got told three weeks later that the parts were on back order, and I waited another three weeks and got no response... I contacted Hoover @ Accuracy One and had a set of inserts on the way inside a week. Later that fall I got another set of inserts from Hoover, again no problems and prompt service. I can't say as I see a *huge* improvement when using sorted bullets (which if I go to that much trouble I usually also meplat uniform and point them) over 'untouched' bullets... a point or two maybe, which could just as easily be the conditions. But the mental safety blanket aspect is appreciated ;) [/QUOTE]
