My comparator came in today. On my 8.6 Blk, without changing any of my press settings, I am bumping .0016 for my gas gun. This passes the drop in/fall out test on the Sheridan gauge, and the cut-away opening in the gauge shows my shoulder and neck align perfectly with the gauge. I have had no issues feeding or extracting over a hundred rounds.
On the Nickel plated brass, which I want to use for easy identification of subs, I am going to have to turn the neck because of the added nickel thickness. I ordered the RCBS case neck turner, but the .338 pilot/cutter was not available anywhere, so I ordered the next size up and I will turn it to spec on my lathe.
