eat, sleep and breath calipers and case gauges. When they get a new gun, whether a custom one or a factory gun they take it totally apart, down to the smallest spring or screw and measure each one. One of them compares each small part's thickness, length and weight and compares those parts against the parts from his other guns. One of them called me recently and was all shook up that the sight blade in his single action was supposed to be .024 and his was .019. That difference is a tad bigger than a human hair and he was all freaking out. I told him the same thing I would tell Scottie. Take all those pin gauges, your calipers and any other measuring device, walk slowly to your back door, open the door and throw the damn things as far out in the weeds as you can. Forget all the friggin' precise measurements and just enjoy the damn gun. I think some of these guys make love to their wife with a set of calipers in their hand. Life is just too short....

I shot the .400 GNR a little, forming cases. - WB, 2020-01-04, 18:41
- A revisit of the whole story... - WB, 2020-01-05, 12:25
- I used 30-30 brass I picked up at the range - Sean Harper, 2020-01-04, 20:35
  - Yeah I'm sure it will. Cast bullets did you - WB, 2020-01-04, 21:14
    - .401”, accuracy with 255,285 gr cast was very good - Sean Harper, 2020-01-05, 08:42
      - I hae a 10mm 230 and a 270 .41 - WB, 2020-01-05, 12:17
- In that case, Starline 38-55 Brass will cure the other issue - Huey, 2020-01-04, 18:44
  - when I order dies I give them all the measurements - gary reeder, 2020-01-04, 20:14
