Someone here has mentioned options for an inexpensive case comparator before. I realize hornaday makes one that isn’t crazy expensive, but $40 is $40. If I can make a homemade option work for $10 that is pretty accurate I would rather do that. I would rather sink the extra money in a better quality caliper than what I have. Plus I’ve decided I want an actual nice micrometer and not an el cheapo as well. Going to stop being “that’ll work well enough” in sizing and case prep and actually try to be more exacting. My personal belief is a better way to achieve this is in better quality measuring instruments than to spend 50 bucks on a piece of steel that doesn’t have to be a standard length, and measures comparatively. FWIW, I’m not a machinist, but I’m ok with a drill press, file, etc. I’ve made dovetail pistol sights by hand before that worked like a charm. I‘m not a pro, but I can fabricate and I like the challenge.
