Bravoniner smiths and reloaders insist on answering every question with a new tools, I use tappers and holes with old tools, I can not count the times I have heard something like "If I had a bladed micrometer" or "If I had the ultimate tool that cost $90.00 dollars....."
I use a straight edge and feeler gage with the L. E. Wilson case gage, I could use a set up table because it is easier, as I said there are other forms that claim they use the case gage as a chamber gage, I gave up on that one when they claimed they could make a chamber cast to check head space, I am still waiting for the answer on that one, I may be the only one able to do that, I can not explain why I would ever try, the results is brief. the information is not accurate before after because cerosafe is not stable, time is a factor.
When using the L.E. Wilson case gage lay a straight edge across the top of the case head and measure the gap between the gage and straight edge, if the case head is below the top of the gage lay a straight edge across the case head and below the straight edge and measure between the straight edge and head of the case, the results will be in thousands.
And I use datums, a smith/reloader can not have enough datums, it helps to know how to use them, most stick them on a dial caliper.
