[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2514101, member: 42494"] IMO the Hornady system is more repeatable due to the various headspace bushings which contact the shoulder in exactly the same place each time you change a bushing. It appears the IT requires you to adjust the horizontal screw touching the shoulder to align it where it contacts the shoulder about halfway up the shoulder. So, each time you change the IT to a different cartridge, this screw would need to be adjusted and would contact the shoulder in a different spot on the shoulder. For a one time measurement this would be OK, but to check your reloads much later after measuring/reloading other cartridges, it would be difficult to get the contact screw in the exact same location and therefore not be as repeatable as using a bushing. I also use his belted collet die to squeeze the belted area back when it swells too large. Works like a champ to save brass. [/QUOTE]
