    zimmer liked post by winchesterM69A On thread : Small rifle primers V large rifle primers.

    zimmer liked post by Rated M for Magnum On thread : bullet and case comparators
    I've been using the Hornady ones, case headspace ones and cbto ones. Deem to work well and give that measurement so you know if you're seating/sizing consistently.

    Have only owned two Shilens, both excellent. My 1 in 8 30" .284 won the Nationals so can't have been too bad.. The other was a 6.5x47 and that was a tack driver.
