.............Amazing stuff they make these days, at prices one can afford even if you do have to save a bit. What continually get's me is the price of the borescopes.

I have to admit I really like mine. Too slow for bulk loading, but anything I used to trickle gets run through the PACT. Also much better for loading up 10 each of 10 different weights for load development.

The Hawkeye plant is 5 minutes from me, as I type this, right in good old Rochester NY!  Made in America.  We do print work for hawkeye, so I wrangled access to a bore scope once.  It was an enlightening experience.

..................Actually, I'd rather NOT look at most my rifle barrels with a borescope! Bliss is being unaware.
