Most accurate .223 chamber headspace gauges

And yet there are some that think Guffey is a great help....

Smoothy8500, thank you, I do not know if most if these guys drink, if they do, they shouldn't. Most of them are silly enough sober; many of them claim they are reloaders with experience of many years yet I ask them a simple fundamental question about the function of a press and they get sillier.

Have they no pride, self respect or dignity?.

I have insisted I cannot move a shoulder back, rather than get silly I scribed a datum on the shoulder of my cases when forming and or sizing and then I started sizing. Not one datum/scribed line moved back, all of the scribed datum lines moved toward the mouth of the case.

Drunk or stupid? The scribed/datum line is on the shoulder, if it was possible to move the shoulder back, the datum/scribed line would move back with it.

I purchased presses in the old days, not my fault but the manufacturers knew not all presses functioned alike; so each manufacturer included a set of instructions, I kept my instructions, in all of these years the function of my presses has not changed. Some of my presses are cam-over presses, others are non-cam over. (back to the instructions) The instructions for the non-cam over press claim the non cam-over press does not cam over. And then the instructions are clarified, the instructions claim the non cam-over press is not a bump press.

The cam over press instructions identify the cam over press as a cam over press and then they distinguish the cam over press as a bump press.

Ignorant is simply not knowing and then there is the absence of self respect, pride and dignity, I have 3 RCBS Rock Chuckers, not one of them will cam over, I can modify a Rock Chucker to cam over, the problem comes when I want to find a reloader that can tell me why it is a very bad idea.

The answer is then stupid because a datum is a point on an angled line.
If the line moves inward, it's no longer the same datum point even if the length remains the same because the diameter of the point has changed and the point is no longer on the original diameter.
Re-scribing the same datum after resizing will show you how much it changed as the brass flowed during resizing.

Thats what I was thinking. Stupid me.

Maybe I'll go have a beer.
