    Not sure how familiar you guys are with re-loading rifle rounds for accuracy, but there is a simple gauge called a Go-NoGo...
    It is a cylinder cut and Calibrated to strict SAMMI specs for different calibers... After you set up your reloader and produce your first round you slip it into the Go-NoGo and it it fits flush, you know that it will fit any rifle of that caliber... It doesn't tell you anything else, you don't know how fast or how accurate that round is going to shoot in your rifle, but it is a start...

    A Calibrated (Such an Important word) HHT is my Go-NoGo gauge it tells me to try a shave test (pull the trigger and see where the round hits on the target)

    The problem we have with the HHT is people not understanding the test, or Calibrating it, so it has become a joke anymore... Much the same as not realizing that besides the Go-NoGo there are tons of variables that account for those rounds hitting downrange in a nice tight Sub MOA group


    All that being said, I hardly ever even use an HHT any longer, once the bevel it truly set, I know exactly where I am on the edge, and just hone it in from there....
