question about feeler gauge

[.45cal]

My question is has anyone actually used the gauge stock that comes in a roll? When it comes off the roll does it go back to being straight? it seems to me that once it has been rolled like that it will always have a bend.

I personally have not used it for picks, but I've used a roll of strip metal at work quite a few times. If it's a few feet long it has a bow to it, but short pieces are pretty flat providing the roll isn't too tight. I think Violaetor uses a coil for picks, not sure if it's feeler guage stock though.

I do use a coil, but it is not feeler gauge. Minimal retention from the coil, but can't speak of the feeler stock as they are different compositions and tempers.

if not feeler stock mind if I ask what you use? pm if you like.
