[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5847142, member: 16430"] I've had my Hornady COAL comparator tool for nearly 10 years. Unless I buy a new rifle or try a different projectile, it doesn't get used. Well, I used it a bunch over the past month and the darn thing broke right where the threads are. This is due to it being aluminum, the body is cutaway just below the threads, and only one side of the threads is connected to the tool. After reading online, I found many more owners of the same tool have broken theirs and some have broken more than one. Rather than buy another one for $50 I decided to just make one I have $12 in materials and it is much more robust than the Hornady version. [ATTACH type="full"]215614[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
