That is what happens when take the flavor out of paint chips.

Lol, that or maybe they need to add that flavor to the tide pods to keep these kids from having the brain capacity and life span to vote

Mix-Match 9mm & 308 via case gauge? Makes sense to me. After all, some people here don't see the difference between a punch and a thread starter instrument to install the pistol grip on an POS aftermarket AR receiver.

What they are referring to is using a 9mm case to find a datum on the shoulder. Any datum diameter will work so long as it's larger than the neck diameter and smaller than the start of the shoulder. Being that it is only a comparator if they want to keep good records that 9mm case will need to be retained and the only one used for such measurements.

I had a 223 case stuck recently. Ended up removing the die from the press, sprayed the case and die with a little WD40, grabbed the case with channel locks and twisted a bit to break the seal. Worked really well.

Thanks. Never even occurred to me to try some penetrating oil....duh.

I know that, and you know that. But do they know that?

I have given up on going all tech-no on Calguns. It is very difficult to establish baseline firearms knowledge from the great many who post comments, plus the attention span factor. However, there are plenty people here who more knowledgeable than I, and I've have had the great pleasure of learning all things about guns and ammo from them.

Well your post made it sound as if you didn’t “Know that”

... lesson is don't be a cheap @$$ and try to save .03 in primers. just decap like normal and you won't have to get creative. Stay safe!

Thanks for the great reminder.

Oh yeah, I learned about how to establish and the importance of a datum line as it relates to Reloading rifle cartridges since, oh, say...1978 give or take a decade or two.
