Modified Case for Hornady Gauge

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

We are still having quite a few LRH Members responding and happy to help out and make Modified Cases for your chamber.
For anyone wanting to make their own Modified Case you can purchase a "Tap & Bit" through Amazon.

HSS 5/16-36 Right hand Thread Tap and 7.3mm Drill bit

You should have a GOOD Drill press (can do without a Lathe). Drill STRAIGHT and then TAP use a good TAP & Drill oil.
If you don't have the equipment. Please don't drill and tap crooked cases. Just put in the mail for a small shipping fee and we will help out.

Jill and I have all the equipment already so we are offering to Drill & Tap your brass cases for you. Lathe/Drill/Piloted Spindle Tap for a straight Tap.
You should be able to put a few cases in an envelope and then ship inexpensively through USPS. USPS Flat rate envelope is $5 now.

We an not looking for any compensation, just to have you "Pay it Forward" to help another Hunter/Shooter and maybe return the favor to us in the future.
Also if you need Gunsmithing pertaining to Chambering/Threading/Cerakoting in the near future please contact us.
Our Shop is almost finished with the "Renovation". Just need some more electrical work and equipment placement in the new shop.
Thanks much & God Bless

a fire formed case chambered with a slotted neck or red lock tite is best. Using the gauge doesn't insert the case enough in the chamber.

 

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

better with a fireformed case that still chambers

Truthfully it is all the same as long as you put the case into the chamber and use the Hornady Modified Case Gauge. It is just going to show you the depth of the throat from the shoulder of the case to the Lands.
For those of us that have OCD use a "Fire Formed Case", but doesn't really matter. (I have OCD so make everything off of Fire Formed to my Chamber)
I know we have made hundreds of Modified Cases from Fire Formed and New Brass Cases.
If you need some made please PM us.
Thanks
Len & Jill

OCD ? LOL ok..... you're looking a quite a bit of difference friend. You can't convince me that the gauge will seat it correctly.

OCD ? LOL ok..... you're looking a quite a bit of difference friend. You can't convince me that the gauge will seat it like a bolt driving it where it needs to be.

Thanks my friend!
I guess that Hornady has it incorrect.
Just trying to help members.

yes they do. It's not consistent as you may think.

 

[Mike D Texas]

It's been very consistent for me.

Thanks for the offer of the service!

 

[mtbullet1]

main cause of "inconsistent" is "operator error"

with a "modified", new case, or a fireformed case, which the seller says he uses.... are not the same, natrually, but you know that, I'm sure. The Hornady gauge does not insert the case, modified or fireformed, in the chamber enough consistently and you have no idea where it's at to get a proper reading.... consistently.

 

[mtbullet1]

enlighten me..... this oughta be good.

inconsistent pressure on rod when inserting bullet

How do you explain when everything goes right and you get rather exact readings repeatedly?

Personally, I don't think it's all that important. The measurement just gives you a reference point to work from. All of my hunting ammo is loaded with the bullets off the rifling. If I think the bullets are .020" off but they are really .027" off; does it matter? As long as you have a reference point that you can repeat, you're good to go IMO.
