Yep this is the one i use. Quite like it eh but dont use the realignment adjuster. It causes more harm than good to precision. I tried it on my old target brass and it caused massive ES. Better to anneal, FL size, set tension again. Its a pain in the ass but it fixes everything

If it doesnt, pitch that case out. Some brass has thickness variation all the way back to the head.
