    None of them get it right, some better than others. Least of all the TV channels who need to throw away their pieces of sea weed and get fresh bits. I have tried most apps. Some have beautiful...

    That ring you can see will line up nicely with the seperate stub. Section a case end for end for a better view. With a belted case like the 7mm RM it is often better to headspace off the shoulder...
