Re: Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool?
Ya hornady tool is way easier to use.
I know sinclair usually push very good products, but imo the hornady tool is just way easier to use in this case.

Re: Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool?
Maybe i'm missing something here but what's not easier about the Sinclair tool? Isn't it pretty much the same as the cleaning rod methrod but with collars???
Maybe I'm misunderstood as to how the Sinclair tool works though.

Yeah you are right. I remember someone posting about making one that looks like this.
If the Hornady is easier that's good. But I heard it breaks easy. Anyone?

I have no idea how someone could break one....maybe a rare case here and there, but if someone has broken more than one then they are simply a gorilla who shouldn't be reloading.

Re: Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool?
Mine is a Stoney Point, which Hornadee is exactly the samething, for the life of me I can't figure out how one could break it, so these people must be doing something very wrong.

Re: Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool?
I've used the cleaning rod & jag method.
It seemed to work very well.
Using a light touch that is required, I also find it hard to imagine breaking anything.

Re: Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool?
I also have the hornady / stoney point gauge. Mine has worked very well for me. I don't know how you could break it without trying. I would also speak highly of hornady's OAL gauge. Both have been very useful.

Re: Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool?
If it breaks, its because you tried to break it.
OR you ran over it with a truck.
The body is made out of aluminium and the shaft is made out of flexible plastic.
When you use the tool you push on the plastic shaft with the slightest of pressure otherwise you are jamming projectiles into the lands and this is not what you want to achieve.
Its like me saying im not happy with a remington 700 because when i tried to pry open a locked shipping container door with it the barrel became bent!
The hornady tool only has one downside... And that is for each calibre you need a specific modified case.
Thats acceptable to me because I feel this tool is the easiest to use and I dont have doubts about the readings I get.

Re: Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool?
I have both the stony point and the sinclair. The stony point flexes too much and not as consistant.
The sinclair is great but i think they should of made the rod's diameter greater than the large rifle primers. with 308 cases, you have to have the primer be level with the rim to get an accurate reading. if the primer is well below the rim the rod will follow below the rim and throw off your reading
