Perhaps this belongs in the Reloading forum, and I will move if appropriate or I don’t get many responses here:
I’m learning new stuff here on the the ‘Fire about reloading. Considering my age, I kinda hate to admit that. On the other hand, learning new things is great. I’m learning from many, but especially mathman and Dirtfarmer. And of course Mule Deer.
I’m learning that with the highly regarded Lee collet neck sizer dies, occasionally you need to move the shoulder back. I’ve learned what a body die is and that you can make a pretty good one from the Lee full length resizing die. (I’ve also learned what a bump die is and how it is not quite the same as a body die. Different topic.) But whichever I use, I probably don’t want to move the shoulder back as much a body die is capable of. Instead, I want to move the shoulder only a few thousandths. So, I need a good measure of the head to shoulder dimension.
What method or commercial devices do you use to measure the head to shoulder dimension on cases?
