    It'd be interested to know the size rods bought to cover what calibers?

    Also procedure for checking straightness and how to straighten.


    :ingo:
    Here's a link to the buying guide I used. I haven't got a chance to try them out yet but it seems to have worked for several people I've seen reference it:

    My specific process is probably going to be out of reach for most.

    I work in a Tool and Die shop so I indicated them between v-blocks. Then I just rolled them to the high side and pushed down on the high spots until they straightened out. It's pretty basic and once you get the feel for it, it goes pretty quick.

    I also had time to kill so I chamfered the ends and laser engraved the size and calibers on them lol

    The thought had crossed my mind. I'm already working plenty of O/T though so I think it'd end up eating up what little free time I do have. Plus I have my concerns over liability as well. Even if I added some kind of disclaimer to absolve myself, I'd still feel awful if someone ended up with a baffle strike or trashed can due to my negligence or mistake. It might be something to think about though if we ever slow down again at work.

    I've seen a guy over on Reddit who makes and sells the rods using the ones I posted earlier. I've never inquired about his prices though. I'd guess they're less than 'official' rods made by other companies. I'm not sure if he's still making the kits though. Last time I saw them was about a year ago I think.

    Here's a link to his profile: https://www.reddit.com/user/dudas91/
