The most important use of a cartridge case gage is for setting up 7/8""-14 press type full length resizing dies. A common error in reloading is to oversize your brass. Headspace of fired cases can quickly and accurately be measured using this tool and a pair of dial calipers. REGULAR STYLE This one piece gage will check overall length to indicate need for trimming, datum to head length to assure correct headspace and to prevent over sizing. Available for most popular rimless cases. ADJUSTABLE STYLE For belted mags. While the belt provides support for poper headspace, the ife of the case will drastically shorten unless resizing is held to a minimum at the shoulder. The gages, which can be adjusted to be used with individual rifles of the same caliber, will enable the handloader to control the amount of resizing simply by measuring a fired case. Overall length can also be check with these gage. SPECIAL ORDER CASE GAGES ARE AVAILABLE---MEASURE CASE LENGTH ONLY
