[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2741708, member: 5219"] I broke mine and moved on. Found it was a PITA anyway. Fireforming the cases, the sizing them just right, and tapping the cases was no fun either. (owned the tap) This method requires no special tools: Seat a bullet long polish the jacket with extra fine steel wool and chamber it. There will be evenly spaced rectangles made by the lands. Seat a bit deeper and repeat. Eventually the engraving marks become squares then rectangles in the opposite direction, then they will disappear. Not hard to figure out the kiss spot. Then it is just a matter of using a comparator to find out the jump a particular load is using. If I were a 1000 yd BR shooter it might be different, they tend to chase lands. The throat wear with some of the rifles shooting sighter shots then 10 for record can wear the throat pretty fast. Then I would be using the Ogive to base tool. [/QUOTE]
