Do you want to find a better way of measuring shoulder bump when sizing Brass? There has been only one way to measure your shoulder bump and that is with a set calipers. The tool would be attached to the jaw of the calipers which contacts your case shoulder. This method has been used for decades, but it’s not always consistent and repeatable. The inability to get an exact number is a minor problem, but it’s completely dependent on how much pressure the user applies and the angle the jaws are pressed against the brass. Enter the L.E. Wilson Case Gage Depth Micrometer uses Wilson case gauges in a simple but effective way to ensure that shoulder bumps are measured accurately every time. The unit includes a micrometer top and a check gauge that allows you to calibrate the device whenever necessary. You’ll need to buy the case gauges that correspond to each cartridge type in addition to the micrometer. The Wilson Depth Micrometer is easy to use. Place your brass into the case gauge, and then place the micrometer on the primer side. Holding the micrometer top firmly in place against the case gauge with one hand, slowly rotate the micrometer until it stops. You can turn it again and verify the stop. Once you have it, check the measurement on the Micrometer. Repeat the procedure with a piece of brass that is the same size. You can now calculate the exact amount of shoulder bulge by subtracting the new number from the number of fired brass. Continue to adjust the sizing die, until you get the right amount of shoulder bump. Now you can size all your brass. In this case, a VIDEO speaks louder than a thousand written words. The photos may not show how the system works. It is actually fast and simple. The video shows how it works. This video demonstrates how it works.
This tool is a beauty because of its simplicity. It uses a micrometer that is very accurate to measure how far forward your brass is in the case gauge. This tool is fast, precise, and repeatable after a few uses. This gives you the confidence that your brass will be sized correctly. As I sized brass and set up new dies, using the micrometer top was a real joy. I could check the consistency of the brass as it came off my press. Give the L.E. a try if you want to improve your sizing skills. Wilson Case Gage depth micrometer is $130.00. MSRP is $130.00.Similar posts:Tags Case Gage, Case Gauge. F-Class John.
