Looking at picking one of these up to add to my bench. Who makes a good one. For checking bullet runout.

Sinclair
Redding
Forster
RCBS

Looking for feedback from people who have them.

Thanks

Wayne

Stoney Point has a set for about 35 bucks and their bullet comparitor works great too.

Presume you mean a bullet comparator rather than a case comparator.

I have the Sinclair and several RCBS Precision Mics, plus I have the Stoney Point Chamber-All with the bullet comparators and head space bushings. By far the most convenient and flexible is the Stoney Point setup. It's also the least expensive. I never use the others.

I think he is asking about a runout gauge.

If your looking for a concentricity guage I`ve been useing the RCBS "Case Master" with satisfactory results. The tool measures case runout, bullet run out, case lenght, and neck thickness.
I have no experiance with the other tools you mentioned, but imagine they work as well as the RCBS.

The rcbs unit will do a few more things than just "run out" But it's also the only one I have experiance with.It does a top notch job for checking for internal case cracks.
