The cup or pan or scoup, what ever you want to call it, for my scale.
I dont have the new generation small hands, so this thing is always in the wrong spot, and I would say on average I knock it over or drop it at least twice. Who makes something better?

Bullet seat length. I use Horandy (maybe thats the issue) presses. This seems like a magical unicorn to me. My goal is 3.2270, I will set for that length. I will get 3.220 to 3.2290 and everything in between. Sure I understand its not something to get worried about unless you are into competition. But how does one improve so one could even think about trying to compete. I have had ideas on this, maybe a machined block with spaces to the length required, put everything in place, and apply top block with a torque wrench. Same amount of pressure and gap every time. I just need a machinist friend.

Anyone else?
As far as OAL are you going from base to bullet tip? The Hornady bullet comparator measures the Ogive of the bullet because tips can be inconsistent. The ogive of each bullet can vary with different lots too so there’s that. My pet peeve is when people ask for me to load for them but don’t mention anything about ponying up any$$ or even coming over to learn how. Or one of my friends wanted me to look into equipment they should get because they wanted to try it. They never got back to me about it and now I have a bunch of his brass I’m not gonna load
