I posted a thread earlier asking for basic tools that one should have to load bottle neck and one of the things mentioned by more than one member here was a Comparator.
Reading further about it, I'm more confused than ever. If my understanding is correct it measures to the Ogive of your cartridges, which seems to come into play to take out the "jump" of a bullet to the grooves.
It can also measure your shoulder. Which is said to be handy when neck sizing and just bumping back to a set distance. I can see this being handy for dialing in a new rifle.
Maybe I'm a bit overwhelmed with all these new measurements I have to deal with now, but can someone point me to a good...entry level explanation of how these tools can be used by someone not chasing 1k yards?
I guess I'm a decent enough shot (USMC expert and all 10 hits in the 500) but nowhere near what the guys here are capable of. And a lot of it seems to go over my head. I completely get why the tool was suggested I'm just trying to figure out how its used at my level
