These Seating Depth Checker Base Pieces are designed to center and steady the case head while you are making seating depth measurements with your dial caliper and a Davidson SDC Nose piece. The bases have three “steps” machined to match the diameter of three case head sizes – Base #1 includes 222/223, PPC and 308 (.378”, .445”, .473”) case head sizes. Base #2 includes 222/223, 308 and standard belted magnum (.378”, .473” and .532”) case head sizes. Many shooters find they can make more consistent seating depth measurements if they use the combination Base and Nose pieces and not have to hold the case head centered on the caliper leg.
Base pieces (for case heads) have three steps machined into them to accept three different case head diameters. Nose pieces should be ordered by caliber. Order bases by your case head diameters (.223 is .378; PPC is .445; .308 is .473; standard magnum is .532).

Set up your reloading bench where it (and stored components) will not be exposed to heat, sparks or flame.
Establish a comfortable loading procedure and don't vary it.
Keep your reloading bench, equipment and area clean and uncluttered. Label components and reloads for safe, easy identification. Never use powder from an unlabelled tin.
Understand what you are doing and why it must be done in a specific way.
Follow loading recommendations exactly. Don't substitute components for those listed in metallic data without reducing the load and working back up.
Never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or Pyrodex because smokeless powder is much more powerful than black powder. Never mix two powders together.
Wear safety glasses.
Stay alert when reloading. Don't reload when distracted, disoriented or tired.
Don't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs while reloading or while in your reloading area.
