I don't know how people go without it. The Hornady one with inserts is the cats azz as far as I'm concerned. They can keep the modified shell chit though. Once size my brass, I'll take one piece and make a cut with a dremel. Then when I've found the COAL I want, it goes in the box and gets used to set the seater for each batch. Each lot of brass stays designated to a box (50 rounds, well 49 actually) with a designated dummy, and all loading data and drops stuck to the inside lid.

Easy peasy.

It's a very good method.


THIS... get that Dremel tool out, does a great job on the slot. Repeat to check results.

3.290"

Finally had time to look at this again.
Used: "Run a fired case into the sizing die just enough to resize about 1/8" of the case neck. Seat a bullet long by hand, chamber the dummy round, close the bolt, remove and measure. Repeat to verify."

Thanks to all.
