[QUOTE="truck driver, post: 1571629, member: 49660"] You really should sacrifice a case fired in your rifle to use with the comparator since it will have the proper chamber dimensions for your rifle. Using the Hornady case will get you close but no cigar. I do believe if you send them a case fired in your chamber they will drill and tap it to fit the comparator tool and this might the way to go for you. Also get a #10-35 bushing so you can measure your cases off the datum line to see just how much your setting the shoulder back. If you notice in my pictures I only set my shoulders back .0005" to reduce case stretch and ware, one case is sized and the other isn't. Also if you notice the set screw which holds the bushing leaves a rough gouge on the bushing which cause the the bushing to be off set. I lightly stone the tip of the set screw to get ride of the burr that causes this and make sure the dial on my caliper is set to zero with the bushing install and the caliper closed on the bushing.
