    An interesting tool...

    This looks interesting, thoughts?
    Anyone try it yet?
    I recommend you jump to 1 minute to skip the obvious. with the interesting beginning at ~3:20.

    They lost me right around the 1:20 mark, with this statement:

    The Chamber Reference System is the first product that allows the user to safely evaluate every aspect of the completed, assembled cartridge in a single unit.
    Ahem! I've had a cartridge checker on my reloading bench for several years -- a couple of them, in fact.

    EGW:







    Lyman offers something very similar.

    There may be something about this new mousetrap that makes it different from the EGW and Lyman products, but the EGW checker has been doing the job for me for a number of years. For someone to come along now and claim to be the first leaves me unwilling to pay any attention to anything they are selling.

    Looks like the gadget for the single stage or "progressive prep" loader. Not as expensive as I would have thought.

    It does not address the issue I posted elsewhere on. Nobody seems to pay attention to the throat/leade. You have to "plunk" pistol ammo or Stoney Point/Hornady ogive gauge rifle ammo to be sure the bullet will not interfere with chambering.
    An old Dean Grennell article showed a Barsto gauge made out of the breech end of a rejected barrel. Full inspection... if you had a Barsto barrel in the gun.

    When I was shooting a 9mm Miller - 9mm P brass + 160 gr bullet @ 1.27" OAL - I had a gauge recut with the same reamer used on the long throated barrel.
