SINCLAIR BULLET SEATING DEPTH TOOL Reviews & Ratings

SINCLAIR BULLET SEATING DEPTH TOOL

The Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool has been used for decades by handloaders seeking the most accuracy out of their rifles. Our newest model is made from one fourth inch ground and polished stainless steel with one end turned down for use with 17 and 20 caliber rifles and the other end used for 22 caliber and up. This tool helps you determine the length of a loaded round touching the rifling.

The Sinclair Seating Depth Tool will work with most bolt action, single shot and AR type rifles. The tool includes a Delrin action guide suitable for most bolt-action rifles (0.690” Diameter fits Remingtons, Savages, Winchesters, and many Rugers). For the most accurate measurement, the Sinclair Bullet Seating Depth Tool uses your fireformed brass and bullets so you can expect an exact measurement, every time.

Also available are guides use in AR-15's, AR-10's, and Tubb's 2000's. The guide is a little different than our standard bolt-action guides. This guide inserts into the back of the upper receiver (with the bolt removed). The tool is then used as normal.

For best results couple this tool with our Bullet Comparators and a good set of calipers to get repeatable and precise Base-To-Ogive measurements.

A Small Flaw

I used this product on an AR10 and my only problem was that the rod wasn't long enough when measuring a very short bullet(Speer 125gr TNT). I had to reverse it and be very careful to not let the small diameter end rest in the primer pocket. Another inch would be nice.

Loose as a goose

I have no problems with the rod or the stops. It's the guide that I have a problem with. I have a Kimber 8400 and order the correct guide. Once the guide is in place there is so much play, that there is no way to get an accurate OAL measurement. There is some serious wobble. I had to take some Scotch Tape and make several wraps around the guide so it would not wiggle around. The guide measured .667. With the tape wrapped around the guide it now measures .685, now it's wiggle free.
