What is the BALLISTIC TOOLS INC - SWAGE GAGE™ PRIMER POCKET GAUGE?

BALLISTIC TOOLS INC. SWAGE GAGE PRIMER POCKET GAUGE

Stop guessing about your primer pockets. Know for sure with the Swage Gage Primer Pocket Gauge. Available for Small or Large primers. Check primer pocket depth and diameter. Use the "Go" end of the gauge to check primer pocket depth, if any crimp is properly removed, and if the primer pocket is loose. If it feels loose on the "Go" end of the gauge, use the other end of the tool, the "No Go" end, to test if the primer pocket is too loose to hold a primer. If the No-Go gauge slides into the pocket, then you know to junk that brass.

Great Product
Easy to decide when to toss out your brass. If no go end fits into your primer pocket, you toss that piece of brass. Very simple and effective.

Must Have
Had a problem with used brass. Blowing primers out of the pocket, jamming the action. Powder charge in mid range of recommended load range. Correct powder. Stumped. found these at Brownells, you know, there are a lot of things I'd do for $25.00. This was the answer worth every cent. If you reload using reman or range brass get both large and small.
