New tool from Creedmoor references bumping the shoulder

I thought some of you guys might enjoy this. It looks like a tool that might be useful for some as a comparator.

Basically a redesign of the Sinclair "nut" comparator, but for cases, rather than bullet ogives (meaning it has bigger holes.) Only thing I saw about them was that they didn't make it large enough to fit a loaded round; it looked like it will only work on empty brass (and maybe those loaded with really short bullets.)

FWIW, I considered getting the Creedmoor ogive comparator, but then figured the Sinclair does the same thing, so why bother?

That said, Sinclair stuff is seemingly being phased out by Brownell's, so the CM tool may end up being the go-to.

I have, in the past, made bushings using the same reamer as I used on the barrel. There are other bushing you can buy that do that same thing. You can measure your new brass, compare that to a headspace gauge, compare that to once fired and then set your shoulder bump.
Whidden gun works make a better unit

Yeah I know only a small portion actually have the means to do our own gun work.

A hidden joke no doubt. But their method of attaching to the caliper IS an improvement over what some of the others have done. Still, there are better options.

They are performing a ritual of summoning that banishes common sense and decency from this sub forum. The end times are upon us, repent now sinners.

How are those calibrated? And what units do they use?
Sorry, I can't remember who came up with the units known as guffsters.

Erbody always reinventing the wheel.
I'm really surprised it wasn't an Franklin Armoury video, they've been coming out with a lot of new products in the past few years.

Thanks for the post.

Sometimes improvements are marginal. Nonetheless an improvement is an improvement even if marginal. On a different topic, I believe the Guff's heart is in the right place. It may be OK to joke about his views in a brotherly way, but that should never be done in a manner that was hurtful to him.

Everyone always reinventing the wheel.

They are not inventing anything, I believe most they are failing to give credit to the original posters, some call that plagiarisms.

Back to tension, at 14 I worked in the oil field. I started on a 'lay-down' rig. all of the pipe was laid on a rack, the next rig was a 'double', meaning we run 2 pipe in and out of the ground at a time.

We had to keep up with the amount of weight we had setting on the bottom of the hole. We used a gage, it was a tension gage. A tension gage measures weight, Some rigs ran 16 cables, others had more and others had fewer. The tension gage was attached to one of the cables, To determine the amount of the
total weight supported by the rig we had to count the cables then multiply the weight shown on the gage by the number of cables. All of this happened 70 years ago, nomenclature suffers with the passing of time.

Boring story, we were drilling through granite in Oklahoma, it was slow going. A rig just north of us got bored, they put all of the weight on the bottom of the hole and just let it run. And then, without warning, they broke through the granite. They pulled the crown down to the floor.

I have 2 tension gages, one measures the amount of weight on aircraft cables. The other is a snap gage for testing the weight on cables.

And then one day a hydronic press was modified to measure weight with a pressure gage, I have measured bullet hold with a bathroom scale for years. Reloaders, to this day do not know the hydraulic press is a tension gage because they were not around when the ability of the neck to hold the bullet was called bullet hold (in pounds).And then came the load cells.

This had all the key phrases to attract his attention: Shoulder bump and neck tension.
