SUPERB!

Cool. Have you used it very much yet and did it detect a significant amount of eccentric cases?

Hi FL (Happy New year)

Yes, I have used it on FL resized & neck turned Lapua cases and it seems that I am producing concentric cases. I have also tested the inside of the neck and I am getting less than .001 run-out

I need to find some "cooking" ammo and test.

Of course, the final test will be with the bullet seated. I will report back.

So if you perform your reloading with due care and attention, you will have just wasted a not insignificant amount of money

Hi Neil

What I mean by finding some cooking ammo was in order to compare carefully made ammo to not so carefully made stuff in order to appreciate the difference.

Probably less than ⅛" at 100 yards

I have checked factory and home made ammo over the years, I can load more accurate ammo for the calibers I have had, but as far as concentricity goes, if the equipment used is in reasonable condition, and is set up properly then the runout will have a minimal affect. Well that is what I decided.
I actually had to work quite hard to make ammo that runs out enough to hurt anything, at least at normal hunting range.

I think you are right!

The guy (1066 on here) even advised me before I paid for it that the tool is only for confirming concentricity and once one has set up dies etc., it won't get used very often.

Having said that, I use my .308 for comps and knowing that the ammo is the best that I can make, gives me a greater amount of confidence. If shots don't go where I want, then it's down to me and the gun and not the ammo.

All very true, but that means you have no excuses for not wining

He can blame his rifle. It's a Parker Hale and if it was two years older it would be muzzle loading!

I've shot Parker Hale muzzle loaders.
