but will say thank-you.:D

Or your gay on the hornady die post, and i will send you a concentricity gauge that i made.
If you are not checking your bullet runout with the WSM loads you should be. The big shoulder angle on the WSM's lend to some bad runout at times compared to long actions and those can be flyers.
I made up a few different versions of concentricity gauges and i will send you one of the earlier models. It works great, but i just did something different on my end model and won't ever use this one.
Here is the one i will send you minus the indicator (you can get one from harbor freight for under 10 bucks)

Here is the one I am keeping

Your original post got a little off track, so I will reply in a new thread.

Finally was able to check the runout on about 60 rounds this afternoon. These were all once fired brass that were neck sized. I would say about 75% or the cartridges had a runout of less than 0.003". There were a couple around 0.006", but were easily realigned with the tool you included.

BTW, I found another pretty good load for my "worthless" Kimber.;)

Thanks for the review. I bet it works easier when you have the case against the post rather than the tip of the bullet;)
I see you also got the cheapo digital caliper when you got the indicator. Good deal there for sure.
