[QUOTE="redneckdan, post: 2030773, member: 8932"] On custom barrels, sorta. I have the barrel maker do a stub gauge with the same reamer. I had my tool and die guy make a fixture to hold the stub gauge and an anvil shoe to fit an appropriate sized outside micrometer. This isn't really for measuring to a datum line so much as verifying consistency from one sized case to another. You could use it to establish bump from a fired case but it doesn't really give an actual length to the datum line, at least not easily. Most of the time I dont bother anymore. I keep track of which shell holder to use with which lot of brass to get .002 bump and go to work. [/QUOTE]
