Thread: 280AI Revisited - Forbes - Load Development

Just an observation (in case the original photo led folk to think otherwise) is that alignment should be confirmed at two positions, and not with a single placement. The diagram at the side shows how misalignment could still be possible if checked at only one position. Best results are with the tools set as far forward as the rings allow, and then as far back. The rings are only positioned correctly when alignment occurs at both positions.
Somewhere else on the Forum was a thread for posting home-made reloading and related tools, and these would be a valuable addition if not there already. They make for a simple home project for anyone who can get half–an–hour's access to a lathe, and are really effective — more so than using a single bar. 25.4mm and 30mm diameter will be off–the–shelf, but 34mm will have to be turned down as part of the project I imagine.
