What does everyone use

Thing is too big.
The comparator hit the case on every piece of loaded .308 ammo I have from my hand loads to Federal Match loads. Only about 1/8" of the base showed on Berger 115s, I might work on a 200ish grain bullet.
It is a useless piece of junk. If you buy a comparator, don't buy the Sinclair.
Just take five unsized fired cases, start what ever bullet into it that you want to load by hand. Gently put it in the chamber and gently close the bolt. Very gently extract and measure from tip to base, average all 5. You will find that any quality bullet is extremely consistent (be careful with lead tips), and we don't care about non-quality bullets having consistent seating into the lands. Adjust your seating die and your done.
