To find the NULL harmonic point on a rifle barrel instead of guessing 7" from the muzzle.

Then the NULL point is where the rifle is put on bench rest bags or cross sticks

What now?  Is this something you can post a link for on the wire?

Gambler: I use 2 kinds:

1. Go to your local "love toys store"... it is about 3" long in the shape of a silver torpedo (round at one end) and has a 3 speed button: High-Medium and Low. A big rip off price of 20 bucks but works great

2. An older Sonicare tooth brush with variable speed control

Unless you're totally stone-deaf, if you stick the bullet end in the small end of a powder funnel, hold it up by your ear, and shake it, you can definitely hear the powder inside. Works just like one of those old timey hearing horns they'd stick in their ear to amplify things.

Book telling me why when my old Lee turret was working fine, I allowed my self to yield to peer pressure and bought one of the blue ones.  Have not produced a reliable box(50) of ammo since.

This list is invalid because Batteries are listed twice. In the PROTUS telephone conversation with the Ukraine President, batteries were only mentioned one time. Therefore this list has been "Doctored", and can not be accepted as accurate.

Can you really do this?

Like Three Foot Johnson said.  I use a RCBS plastic funnel, which works better than metal.  It does not work if you load up black powder.  Powders such as Titegroup that leave a lot of room in the case can be heard fairly easily.  Of course, if one has bad ears, it doesn't work at all.

Speakin of bandaids did anyone mention duck tape or duct tape, you know what I mean. Though I use the blue tape a lot for temporary labels or masking off something without getting it sticky.
