WILSON CASE GAGE

WILSON CASE GAGE Reviews & Ratings

L.E. WILSON CASE GAGES

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 caliper.

Regular Style: This one piece gage will check overall length to indicate a need for trimming and datum to head length to assure correct headspace to prevent over sizing.

Adjustable Style: For belted mags. While the belt provides support for proper headspace, the life of the case will drastically shorten unless resizing is held to a minimum at the shoulder.

Gaging point is shoulder/neck junction
The 6.5 Creedmoor gage I received, produced results very different than other case gages such as the Hornady and Sinclair models. For example, shoulder bumped 0.002" according to Sinclair, 0.012" Wilson. Whereas other gages reference from the shoulder/body junction, or somewhere in the middle of the shoulder, the Wilson gaging point is the shoulder/neck junction. The short of it is, shoulder bump of 0.002" as indicated by the Wilson gage will be undetectable using other gages. Since all of these gages recommend 0.002" bump for bolt-actions, they can't all be right.
