Hey c-max here into a quick video this. Kind of falls into the what — wha -. Series of reloading pops press papa had. A video about case gauges and this is. One I've been planning on doing for a while i had mentioned i had one come in. And last in the crimping video of the. What — wha — series and this is the one. That i had coming but i wanted to kind of go through and talk about what you can do now typically a case gage is. Exactly what it sounds like it checks. The case now it could check an empty. Case i can check a loaded case it just. Depends on now obviously you want to have. Case gauges and they can be expensive so. It's tends to be something that you kind of do as needed and later on what a lot. Of us to start out with is on the pistol. Rounds we'll pull a barrel like this one. Right here which is this is out of my xd in competition, and we'll use it as a. Chamber guide now the limitation here is. It's only going to check this particular. Chamber well c-max aren't they all the same no they're not we had discussed . The semi minimum requirements which is. Basically the millions mark what they're all supposed to kind of be made to in. Minimum standards so if it fits the sámi. It should fit all the other ones the. Chambers aren't different so if you're. Just using a barrel you're basically only guaranteeing it's going to work in that particular chamber which is associated with that particular barrel this is a nine-millimeter so. Basically what you would do is take a loaded round put it in there and you look does it go all the way in the fall. Out easily is there any dining that seems to work good and then again you. Put in dump it out that's good that. Works good and i believe you get the. Idea now if you give one and it goes. Down but it doesn't go in all the way like that's an issue you're. Probably gonna want put that one to the side and take tear it down and rebuild. It maybe scraps the case but reuse the. Bullet in the powder will we'll get in. That's another video and I'll show you how to do that's real easy as well and let's go ahead and check the. Fourth one perfect okay so in these nine. Millimeter rounds they fit this chamber. Perfectly now this is the lyman ammo. Checker this is a case gage but as you. Can see it's different from this one. This one does multiple calibers. So first of all let's just get into it. See this is made out of aluminum it's. Very heavy it was good and just to read. The proper game they have as the czech quality consistency of loaded ammunition. Rounds and purchased a bmo so i talked. About factories well so you can be going to a match you want to check your factory about well you could do this as well most for any honors you to confirm. Proper chambering each of these gage. Does multiple sloan multiple calibers. Which is very cost effective and this. Will close the easiest go/no-go gage. Available if it fits in a chamber now live in auto. Checkers or precision gauges that allow. It or letter to quickly confirm that their ammunition will fit in the chamber. Machined from 606 1 — t 6 aircraft grade. Aluminum and custom — lee — sammy. Minimum chamber dimensions they have. Three designs form which this is the. Hand gun, and they have a small rifle and a large rifle now I'm not so sure about. The rifle wine and I'll get to that in a. Minute but from the pistol one i like it. A lot of now and the reason for that is in. The pistol rounds we don't typically have to worry about k sling so you slide. It in here and here's the. Nine-millimeter fits flush so this is. One thing you have to keep on the bench and it's ready to go as you're doing various calibers of ammunition so this. Particular one we've got through idiotic nine-millimeter luger 38 and super which. You're not familiar with that round that is a very popular competition round 40. Smith & wesson we have 45 colts not ac. People called you have the 44 magnum and. The 44 special yet in the 38 special in. The 357 magnum and then you had the 45. Acp so let's start and check the p. Here's a 45 acp put it in work good. Let's try this and what you want to do. Is to slide in and does it fit there's a. Fifth clutch or does it. Stick out like that would be a no-go but if it sticks in its below. Flush the cartridge is kidding okay. That's the 40 caliber smith & wesson. That happens to be this one, so we'll do. The same thing perfect and perfect lure. Check the per millimeters that's working. Good that's working good nice working in. It and that was working good now as well. Want you to be aware that they make something very similar to this to where. They're all the same caliber so you'll have a big block and it'll have say 50. Of them at all before 9 millimeters so that way you can check mass quantities in the same caliber very quickly so. That's an option as well now let's go to. This one this is also alignment this is. A case linked headspace gauge this one. Is for 2 to 3 the difference really. Between the two here and why this one is. Actually superior to the other one is. I'm going to show you in just a second. It's this we're talking about Kaitlin. Okay so here's a fired case it has been. Resized but do we need to trim it well. You can get the calipers out and you can see does it need to be trimmed down or you can use a case gauge okay you put it. In now what you're going to see here and. Let's give up so you can see here but. There's a slight cut out here and what. That's looking for is the headstand fit. Above that cutout or is it down in it okay. Well that one fits down in it, so we're. Good on that slides in and out so the case is good on the other end now you. Have the same thing you have a cutout and then give it up here let you see it. Yes and wide on right here you can see. The end of the case sticks out that case. Needs to be trimmed okay son that's the. Advantage of having a case gauge like this for rifle let's try this case once. Again okay she fits here at the head. Stand let's look in here yep you can see that. One as well sticks out beyond where it's. Supposed to that case needs to be trimmed my opinion is this one is. Perfectly fine for pistol because like i. Had said before we're not worried about for the counseling what have you in the pistol rounds in rifle we are so i. Confirm this time now the issue is. These run fifteen to twenty plus dollars. Per counter caliber sorry I'm still. Having trouble speaking and obviously. That can add up very quickly this was. Around thirty dollars and we're doing. You know if you consider the 38 357 and. Then the 44 44 magnums were for special. 44 magnum well you're looking at their. $20 apiece you know you're looking at $80100 here. Plus then you've got eight these things. To keep up as opposed that this will just sitting on the bench you grab it really and it's really easy to use that's why i. Do like the block for the pistol but i. Do prefer these former rifle caliber ok. Well that's going to wrap it up on the case kay just real quick information what more waffle what do we do it for we. Do it to double-check our ammunition because remember reloaded ammunition why. When factory ammunition just isn't good. Enough this is why these are the steps. That you make that your reloaded. Ammunition is superior to factory ammunition because of the vacuum ammunition they're not doing this but. When you're making it yourself you can make better ammunition and you can buy. From a factory ok they'll wrap it up. Remember the safety rules keep your. Finger off the trigger till you're ready to fire always know where your muscles pointed every gun is always loaded please like and subscribe the video and. Please share it thanks for watching have. A great day. You.
Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Ammunition Concentricity Tool
Hornady is constantly developing ways to improve accuracy, and this is the first tool of its kind on the market that both identifies and eliminates bullet runout – the tendency for bullets to be out of perfect alignment with other components of the cartridge. Simply place ammunition in the tool, roll it, identify any bullet runout, and use the dial indicator to adjust to zero. You can even use the tool to measure and correct factory ammunition. By truing up the alignment of a cartridge, you'll enjoy improved accuracy and performance from your ammunition.Well welcome back again so we just did. The review on the rcbs case master and i. Thought it was only fair to do a review. On the hardy concentricity tool because. Both of them are actually really good tools one does something the other can't. Vice versa but i have them both and i. Thought it was fair to i do use them. Both so let's take a look at some of the options some of the features these. Things have and go over the. Functionality of this thing so let's take a look. Okay so um a little bit about this. Is a really quick tool i really. Like i like how they designed this so. Let's let's take a look at some of the stuff here nice big kind of knurled dial illness. Or a knob on the side here you loosen. That up this comes out it's always good. To keep a nice real thin coat of oil on these now how this works you have a case. And in here you get a nice real nice. Machined out bevel and that head sits in. There just like sones and you have to spin this so but that just sits right in. There this thing will do little tiny bullets all the way up to you know magnum stuff it'll it'll do a lot so all. You do is just it's a machine fit so. It's a little tight slide that in there. Lock this down and you will get this. Mounted i had to unmount this from the bench, so we're going to get this mounted here I'll show you a little bit more but just a real quick turn here a little. Swing turn and this whole assembly. Slides back and forth that allows you to. Set that where you want to whether you're looking at necker or the bullet total run out whatever so this slides. Very nice on a nice little it almost looks like a pica tinny rail down here very cool and over here you've got your. Little plunger i don't know the official name, but we'll call it a plunger how about that and this thing here is going. To spin a little bit spring-loaded now. You get a couple different options and. Each of these has it's a tapered hole in. The end here different sizes and what. That does is these go in now this is the. Wrong one but it sits on the oh give of. The bullet itself and all kinds of. Different sizes I've got the one in there for the this particular round right now it just sits on the ogive so. You it centers the bullet essentially. What you're doing is you're centering. The head there center the head here into. Here to make it an absolute perfect. Perfect alignment with these two machined parts so let's get this thing. Set up on the bench here screw it back down I'll show you how this thing works but before i do that so if you saw my. Other video on the rcbs case master you'll see a feature on that where you. Can actually check for head separation with the little hook rod in there this. One here has a feature that i don't. Think anybody else has yet at least this. Little screw here it has a little piece. Of now I'm dropping stuff a little piece. Of nylon right there on the end of this screw so you don't do any damage to. You to your bullets but what you can do. Is actually straighten a bullet so if you have a bullet that has too much run. Out in that case you can actually straighten that a little bit sometimes you can get them absolutely perfect if the run out is too much you won't get them perfect but you get them a lot better than what they used to be so. Each of these has their own kind of little feature that's pretty slick so let me get this mounted, and we'll run a. Few through this and show you what this looks like all right so i got this. Mounted back on the bench here it's got four little feet on here couple of wood screws works fine so what. I do is i take a loaded round and that. Just slides up into that cone there and. This might seem a little clumber 'some. But it's actually really easy to get used to i just grab this pull it back. And i just sort of push this out of the. Way here and get that nice and centered. Now what you do is all you do is just. Spin this thing you'll see the indicator here moving and i on this particular. Bullet I've got about oh just about. 2,000 s run out so what you can do to. Correct this is you can go to the low. Side right about there and that's where. This tool comes in screw this in bump it. Just a little bit. And I've got about mm two and a half. Thousands so it doesn't work real well. To be honest on real minimal run out. That two to three thousands you can play. Around with it and get it to work but when you get some of the factory stuff. I've worked with it's you know fourteen thousands out you can just run this in. Bump at ten or fifteen thousand s watch that gauge move see that gauge moving bump that about ten or 15 thousands and then turn it again and you'll you'll see. A huge difference and you know picture a. Circle in a circle in a circle right it's your bolt your chamber your barrel. And if that bolt that bullet has to be perfectly aligned up with everything so it's going out the barrel it's not entering the barrel at a weird angle so. So to be able to help correct this is. A really cool idea and the fact. That it's so universal with you know with all the other options. And stuff and it's really it's just quick it's simple i really like it so i. Use them both the are cbs and the hornet. Ii and they're real easy to change to. You if you want to change this collar this knob spins off just pop your. Turnbuckle there and slide that back and. This thing will just slide out of there has a little spring on there and if you. Want to change these around slip the spring off that one put on the other one and slide this back in. But you're not back on and now you can. Do a different bullet different caliber whatever you want so it's as simple as. That this thing is just absolutely easy. To work with really like it move. This around let slip your turnbuckle there it's just i really like it my only complaint with this thing there's a little o-ring right here and. You can take this o-ring and slide it. Forward and it should help hold this. Dial rod indicator here out of the way. And it does when the o-rings are new but. As you see this o ring is getting pretty old now there's a little knob. Here and this knob unscrew just comes. Right off so you can take this o-ring here slip it off of there and put on a fresh ring they just get dry cracked so I've got a pocket full of them somewhere. I just don't remember where i put them so I'll have to get that changed out so and you can stack several on here and then just you know slide the one you want forward and this one here actually. A bit it'll just break the idea just broke right off so I'll have to just. Get a couple more of those and just stack them up on here and then as they get old from moving them back and forth. Slide the next one up you can also take a little bit of rama oil and just put a. Little a little coating of oil on there. With like a paper towel works great so anyways enough of that so what do i. Think of this i really like it now as most of you know i now have both. Do i think it's important to have one. Over the other or both or just one. Believe it or not i actually use both of. These tools they're both really good tools they both have a feature the other doesn't have i like them both. You know i really couldn't pick one. Over the other so i have them both and. If your reloader like me you'll have. Then both — probably so anyways you know. These things are just they're so simple. Well well-designed you know just they're. Just slick i really like them. They're machined well i really like the. Features there's just no play in there at all. It's just really good a little. Feet there just anchor them down to your. Bench couple screws you can move it pops the screws out put it where you want i have used this without mounted too and. It works okay — you don't have to mount it but i do mount mine so anyways hey i. Hope this helps out I'm going to also put an affiliate link below if you purchase it with that link it helps support my channel doesn't cost you a penny extra if you like what you see. Give it a thumbs up share it that as well. Helps this channel so stay tuned we got. A lot more stuff coming a lot of stuff. We're going to be looking at a new scope out there too called tract it's its a. New company they're only about a year old and I've I've had the pleasure of. Testing the scope so we're putting. Together some footage and hopefully. Here in about a month I'm going to have all that together and i think. You'll be impressed with this scope german shot-glass really nice so anyways lots. Other stuff too so stay tuned if you're not subscribed go ahead and subscribe now because we're probably going to have another probably between 30 and 40 videos on reloading and some shooting. And some product reviews coming up here between now and june or so. So anyways hey i hope you liked the video i hope that helps you out a. Little bit with your reloading stuff, and we're going to continue on here very. Shortly with sort of putting this all together and coming up with a very. Around but we have to go through this you know obviously step by step and get this you know what tools you know you. Can spend a huge amount of money on tools and I've done that a lot and i. Found myself going back to very specific. Tools every time i reload and the rest. Of it sits on my bench and i don't use. It so say watch these series as we. Progress through this and save yourself some money because a lot of the tools out there aren't really that useful or. They're not that accurate and so just. Buy the good stuff up front don't buy. All the other stuff and you're going to be loading some really high-quality very accurate ammo at. The end of this so hey again thanks. Everybody i really do truly appreciate it and stay tuned for next time. You
