    This this vintage caliper set acceptable for measuring case dimensions?

    Also very true of micrometers, and most other instrument that have a human interface. One reason to keep the thimble clean and lightly lubed. Those without a slip type thimble are very sensitive to varying pressures. Good point, and thanks for the reminder. Also, a good "thin" lube that is...

    This this vintage caliper set acceptable for measuring case dimensions?

    OR... just use the 1" and 2" standard that is included in the OD mics. You already have those. I bet they're even traceable. No need to spend more $$$..

    This this vintage caliper set acceptable for measuring case dimensions?

    I like those .200 per rotation calipers. There was a reason for them.... Use with pride. I kept most of my tools when I switched fields, and have since gotten most of my dads tools when he was a tool maker. Good stuff...

    Props to MDT

    Yep... typical for MDT. I acquired a stock that had fallen out of a friend's pickup while he was driving. It was SCRATCHED UP.... but repairable. A bit of filing, couple cans of paint... looks good. Needed new hardware. MDT sent it out right away, and wouldn't even let me pay the postage (I...

    88 gr velocities in 223 Wylde or 223 Rem Match barrels?

    I was just a few thou shy of 2.5 as well. Also, my barrel tends to be a bit faster than what most others achieve. Don't know why, luck of the draw, I guess. Mine seems to run about 75-100 fps faster than same load in similar barrels of same length.

    Origin vs Others

    I made a switch barrel out of my Origin with a standard bolt head and a 223 bolt head. The repeatability tracks excellent between the two barrels, I dial my offset into the scope and run it. Now that I think of it..... wish I had bought two of them. But then I'd need another scope, another...

    Lets start another "cool place to be" website. We can talk it up real big, encourage everyone to join. Just don't tell them that we're really staying here. We can stop over to the new place every once in a while to affectionalty confirm their self-aggrandizement.

    Grinding tip of spindle on micrometer to get better reading

    Agreed, it would likely work well... but for $30 you can get an off-brand of above, and it is reversible if you don't like it. Just a thought. I always hate grinding on my expensive tools, but sometimes there is just no other way.

    243 Powder?

    IMR 4064 was the best in mine. A bit slow on velocity, but.... accuracy was superb!

    Grinding tip of spindle on micrometer to get better reading

    +++^^^^ What he said. Please don't ruin a good tool because you need a different tool. You need a spline attachment. https://www.microscopeworld.com/p-4324-mitutoyo-spline-spindle-attachment-tip.aspx?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpvf7_ZTC7gIVS73ACh031QHLEAQYAiABEgKPQfD_BwE
