Toby Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi. If I am mostly loading cartridges to SAAMI spec o.a.l which would the best comparator be of the Sinclair Hexnut or the Hornady/Sinclair insert which fits onto the calipers? Any other feedback or advive on the subject welcome. Have spent the last 10 yrs just measuring to the bullet tip instead of ogive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhhudson Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I've got a hornady one that attaches to your caliper with a thumb wheel, dead easy to use and your not trying to hold three things at once. Not over expensive and i think i have seen a kit with a selection of inserts for various calibres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Also look at Shooting shed...similar to Hornady but better made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Used both. Sinclair/Hornady insert on calipers much prefered-but Shooting Shed -using same approach-may well be better engineered. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha1 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I use the shooting sheds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethM Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 In an ideal world, I would like to see the Shooting Sheds comparators combined with a ratchet style micrometer. It would eliminate the differing hand pressure on the gauge (something I struggle to get consistent) Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paratrooper Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 The shooting shed..All I use highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hornady is easy to use and as good as any other similar type for the job in hand. Advantage is you can use the same holder for their headspace gauges. Sinclair not so easy to use but has lots of cals on one hex nut. I don't use my Sinclair one if anyone wants it, pm me.
