    Years ago I used to go out with the rabbit board guys (back in the "day"). They carried a shotgun, I carried my 22. Outcome - the dogs got the bloody lot.

    Good write up Tahr. The only thing I would add is I do the final action/barrel assembly to stock with the rifle vertical. This ensures the recoil lug is fully back.

    Tried that with the Hornet. Unsuccessful. Maybe works for other cases.

    A bit more than just an aid or tool cobbled together but recently I made up this tool. It measures primer pocket depth and seated primer depth. Will accept rim size from 223 up to 7.5x55 SR. Small...
