I have occasion when I adjust my lock ring to move the die up and down to adjust for the same bullet and crimp to different case lengths. Example, 44 magnum trimmed to 2.275 or Hornady cases trimmed to 2.255. Another example would be if I use my dies in several different presses.
So I thought, If I had a tool similar to a case shoulder comparator, that would index on the lock ring I could measure and reset the die quickly and repeatably.
So compounding on this idea, what then would work well for such a task? It would need to be a cylinder I suppose, maybe a piece of PVC pipe with 7/8" inside diameter. It would need to have the ends parallel. Maybe a category conversion pull bar adapter for a tractor? I aint got one to measure.
Anyone have other ideas or do something similar? Know of anything ready made that would be perfect?
