Hey Guys,
I was watching a vid and found a guy using two Hornady OAL gauges to measure bearing surface on a bullet. At the time I didn't realize what he was measuring until I saw Whiddens multipurpose OAL gauge that works like Hornadys. Two gauges like Hornady, and I got to thinking staring at my Head and Shoulders Hornady HS gauge and my OAL gauge. I put the H&S anvil on one side and the anvil/insert on the other. The H&S anvil centers the case head nicely and you don't have to rotate the cartridge to get a good reading. Waaay easier to insert the cartridge and close the jaws of the caliper.
