Very nice
I have the hornady set that works, but this is a nicer set
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Great tool
This is a very simple and accurate way to check shoulder bump and cartridge length based on the ogive when setting cartridge length for your specific firearm. I found it to be very consistent in measuring when used with a good set of calipers. Always follow the instructions as I jumped in first and found I had the Allen head screw holding up the blade on my calipers then read the instructions on how to properly set it up. There is a reason why it comes with two Allen wrenches. Another quality tool from Brownells.

Must Have If You Are Serious
For the very best fit in each rifle you own the right measuring tools are critical. I used Hornady for a long time but this one is now my favorite. Rifle ammo takes way more effort and care than pistol. You need accurate numbers to build accurate loads. Expensive like all great tools.

So good and so easy!
So easy to use and get accurate readings on the datum line and the ogive!! Easy to get good consistent reading with and good quality construction.
