making key bushing cauls

[David Ilvedson]

I haven't used the Bushmaster but it does both sides of the bushing at once.   A  lot of wasted bushing cloth but....labor's more expensive.   
The brass caul's have to cost a lot more than the nylon Spurlock cauls.   I'm really interested in the key bushing iron...I believe it has a bunch of different sized cauls for slightly easing the bushings.   I also use Spurlocks stuff, but I don't do a lot of key bushing.
