    Well, the doctors didn't kill me last week and I got tired of laying and sitting so I did a few minutes of resting out in the shop today. Not a big project but an easy one I had been intending to do when I had a few min.

    It's just a 3/16 rod with a .100" bearing embedded into one end that can line up with a dial indicator. I built it to mount on the backstop dowel of my runout gauge to keep it simple. Now I can have an accurate measurement of case walls without having to ruin one.

    Sectioned .223 case.
