Has anyone used the Bersin Ammunition Adjusting Tool, and if so, what were your impressions? Is it an answer in search of a question, or did the use of the tool improve the quality of your handloads? Is there a Canadian supplier?
 
A what? Ok, I went and looked. You'd only need something like that for benchrest shooting. For regular shooting and certainly hunting, it'd be a waste of $219US.

Haven't used the tool - but have poor-boyed the idea somewhat.

Basically, the premise is to take unconcentric ammo and try to improve it after seating a bullet. IMO late in the process to be adjusting.
Having said that however, I have had success with 50BMG ammo - straightening the bullet in an already concentric neck.
Will it be worth the effort in every case? - Probly depends on the consistancy one is already achieving with a given batch of brass, dies etc.

No help, I know, just my .02.
 
Bersin Tool

...yes, I own two of these tools. They seem to work best with long-necked cartridges like the 220 Swift, 30-06, Weatherby cartridges, etc. These tools are not as effective when using short-necked cartridges like the .223 and .308 because the tool tends to break the case neck tension on the bullet. These tools are, however, excellent for measuring overall "runout" of the entire cartridge/bullet package for checking the overall quality of your factory and/or reloaded cartridges. I only recommend this tool for the most serious sportsman. They are made in Plattsburgh, N.Y. (USA) by the Island Machine Co. on high-tec CNC machinery. The high price of this tool is caused by patent payments to the Swiss patent owner. It is a tool for the most serious long-range target shooter, varmint hunter, 1,000 yd. competitor, etc. The guy to talk with at the shop, answers to the name of "Marvin".......
