Since the forum is Reloading - Big Game Rifles, I'd say don't get either one. They're not needed for accuracy on the large critters.
I once purchased the RCBS unit. Took it out of the box, looked at it quizzicly, realized the error buying it, and put it away. Realized I didn't need another tool to drive me crazy. Excellent point - I mess around with it every now and then, but from the first my reaction to the information it provides has been, "OK, so now what?"
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Never seen pics of those animals before; are they mulies or whiteys??
Just knowing Scott he'll prolly pic post dead animals and oddball targets shot offhand; without using a concentricity tool or neck turning or using bushing dies and getting all NAMBLA about it...
Is someone churning butter in the backround? Thought I heard something....

Why don`t you two go have a schitz together and discuss it.
Its a tumbler you hear.
Switching from targets to animals.
I have stuff that works pretty good for that too.
I`m sure scottie is a good boy, prisons are full of good guys.

Hondo;
How far do you, really, shoot at game? Punching paper might require every nth degree of whatever you can muster to get a group size half-a-silver-[bleep]-hair smaller than the other guy...... but shooting critters, unless they are REALLY damned small, or REALLY damned far away ain't that hard. 1/2 MOA will keep you in the vitals to 1600....... 1 MOA to 800+. If you aren't getting better than 1 MOA (and seeing some of your results, I KNOW you are) with handloads, some fancy meter ain't gonna get you there any faster than better loads will. If you're sub-MOA, how far away are you, really?
Ask Jamison what works to plunk pronghorn in the punkin', at 500+...... I don't reckon it'll be one of the two things you asked about, but whatever his answer, it works.

I won't and can't speak for Steelhead;
Please tell us why a concentricity gauge is needed to hunt big game or reload rounds and run them all through.
I am sure you can hold for the .005 diff in the field.
There are a plethora of guys here that can post little holes in paper; plenty more with pics of dead animals, many of which were taken without a Borden action, near, far and in between. Some of them even moving.
My gunsmith is a BR shooter, a good guy with records and less ego and know-it-all than you. He doesn't use his BR gun in the field, run it through his plethora of gadgets and sure as hell doesn't tell anyone else they need to do it either; 'course I am sure he isn't as smart as you.
Nope, I hear my tumbler; sounds like mashed potatoes hitting the wall at your place.....

Wow, aren`t you wanting to waste my time.
The question was about which brand.
Nothing about big game.
I honestly have better things to do tweetyI.
You might want to get back to something other than Schitz for breakfast.

Not wanting to waste your time, just trying to get answers from a pro.
Here's a question for you, old wise one with medals; what have you shot with a TSX? Any Barnes bullet? They tell me you think they don't shoot good. I've also heard you think the AB is a much surer killer of deer. I want advice you give to your rich friends...
I'm sure they never went across a Sinclair gauge well enough to pass muster, so they were never fired. Gotta have zeroes B4 they go down any equipment of yours....
Just want your first-hand knowledge. Thwack....

ok, you`re right, if a guy was going to use a Concentricity guage on a big game rifle then I`d buy the Sinclair.
