Any other comments on the Hornady Concentricity Gauge. I know its NOT the elite tool that BR shooters desire. But for the shooter that wants a tool that serves them well and is simple, its serving me very well. Most of my dies are putting out .002-.005 (accordingly to this gauge)of runout. For me, thats fine because I don't compete. Yes, I know there are other gauges are better due to the way the measure, but in the name of simplicity, this one seems to get the job done on minimal $$ and bench space. Opinions?
 
Re: Great all around Runout Gauge/Correction

I never could understand the mentality behind the concensus that accurate ammo was only for competiton.

I don't compete either, any more, but I still build very accurate ammo.

The lowest possible run out is a huge part of it........
 
Re: Great all around Runout Gauge/Correction

I have it and love it. Compared my runout on an rcbs casemaster and it was dead on. The only variation I think you could have is if your dies are leaving your brass with runout after sizing. I'm not having that issue so its all in the bullet/case neck joint.
