In the bullet sorting best method video you used the caliper to test the hornady and forester comparater but not the short action custom.....curious as to why? And that was a very good video, thankyou
Thanks! I'd have to go back and watch but, I THINK the answer to your question lies in that I USED to use the calipers and mostly the Forster Datum Dial. As of this video's making and beyond, I use the Short Action Customs and Sinclair setup because it's WAY faster. The SAC gage also gives more repeatable/reliable measurements as it fits the ogive much better in how it's made. Hope this answers your question and thanks for the comment and for watching!
One would think that might work but, the holes are identical without any "shouldering" to accommodate the ogive. That's also not a workable solution as one side of the dial has indexing dimples to sit on a small ball bearing so that there's a "position lock" when attaching to the black body of the datum dial. And the black body is necessary to be able to attach to your calipers and to have a cavity for the tip of the bullet to go into as it protruded beyond the gold dial. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
The Nosler RDFs are awesome !!

On the gold forester plate where you say the bullet wobbles just turn it around problem should be solved no more wobble of the bullet.
