[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 980736, member: 25383"] First of all, you want the very fine india stones. Shaped like a knife and very thin in cross section. The Arkansas stones are white and very hard. You don't use them to remove metal, but to find and get rid of bumps and burrs. Never use the stones dry, and I recommend mineral spirits with about 15% light spindle oil added. The very idea of bending a loaded round strait is wrong from the start! Get a better case gauge. The Neco is the best, and will do more than most any of the others. I would swap the Gem indicator for something that reads in .0005" increments, and look for a zero backlash indicator. I use Interrapids, but the B&S Best Test is another fine unit. Still as long as you keep the indicator moving in one single direction and as long as it's "wand type" indicator you'll be OK. Those long travel indicators that come with most case gauges have about 10% backlash built into them. gary [/QUOTE]
