Re: Pin Gauges.
Oh 
- Knowing how far you two take your reloading specs, I was wondering if there was some knowledge to be gained from measuring the depth of (or variation in depth of) firing pin strikes....
I was also going to ask if there was any significance/problem with having a pin strike that is consistantly off centre? (as I have with my smle).
But now I have more obvious questions - What's a donut, and why do you want to find them?

Nice one Spud :goodjob:
Not sure that would effect me (not in the near future), but it's a good bit of reloading knowledge to have, and I'll definately have a check for it (more out of curiosity) as I start to get cases that have been fired several times....

Re: Pin Gauges.
Actually some calibres can have this happen to the cases after the first initial firing.

Re: Pin Gauges.
Actually I have now found one slight donut in one of my 'once-fired':
But as I use boat tailed, it should be ok...
