The flick test did work and it was gathering bumpy lines at the bottom of the screen--my problem is that I was following the directions from the manual--which for some reason has an actual shot trace superimposed over all the test flicks--so, not being the sharpest pencil in the box, I kept flicking at the sensor thinking I was supposed to get the bell curve. lol

The only question I have about putting the gage at the case mouth is that presumably there will be a step down from the diameter of the neck area to the free-bore area--and the gage will be sitting atop that. I could back the gage over the neck--but then it would be immediately adjacent to the shoulder.

PS--our roads and my driveway are ice-skating rinks after multiple storms--no fun!
