[QUOTE="BoomFlop, post: 1778426, member: 55851"] So, I’m just getting into reloading (have not even set up or loaded a round yet) and will be loading for factory rifles in 223, 7mm-08 and 308 Win. I have been advised that I need these 3 tools. I realize the Comparator measures off the Ogive of the bullet vs the tip which is more consistent. I understand that checking the Headspace from cartridge head to the shoulder will help with not working the brass any more than required. OAL gauge will allow me to monitor the amount of jump to the lands I have and help choose seating depth (measured with comparator). Do I have to make a fired case? Let me know what everyone thinks before I purchase any of these tools. Thank you!!! Steve [/QUOTE]
