Best Concentricity Gauge For $200.00 Or Less

[Bubba1]

I tried the Hornady gauge, (big mistake) and I got frustrated with a Sinclair digital gauge and sent it back. I'm thinking that may have been a mistake too. (sending it back) Anybody tried the RCBS gauge or another make besides Hornady? Maybe a custom gauge? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks Aldon. Definitely going to pick up one of those rigs.

I have a friend that owned one of these, his findings were that the rounds produced had such low runout from his resizing procedure he no longer needed it, sold it.
My findings were that even though I occasionally get a thousand or two RO they have made absolutely no difference at Target.
My RO tool collects dust.
Just me of course

I use the Hornady. Works very well for me. Has a kit that converts it to measure case neck thickness too.
Something to keep in mind. All these gauges are made well, like with any tool, Concentricity Gauge, Micrometers, Calipers, etc, you need to develop a skill level with it to be ensure accurate and repeatability.
