Precision stainless steel headspace gauge checks maximum and minimum cartridge headspace plus case length. Non-slip grip, flat sides prevent rolling. Essential for setting up sizing dies.
The Lyman Pro Headspace Gauge represents the most comprehensive headspace checking solution available to the reloader. Machined from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this gauge delivers precision and durability for a lifetime of use.
Proper headspace is fundamental to safe, accurate reloading. Too much headspace can cause dangerous pressure spikes and case failures. Too little headspace can result in difficult chambering and inconsistent ignition. This gauge allows you to verify your sizing dies are set correctly before you process a single round.
The Lyman Pro design incorporates more features than competing headspace gauges, making it the professional choice for serious reloaders who demand accuracy and reliability. Whether you're a benchrest competitor or a hunter preparing ammunition for the upcoming season, this gauge ensures your loads chamber safely and perform consistently.
Use this gauge when initially setting up your sizing dies for 30-06 Springfield cartridges. Check it periodically throughout your reloading sessions to ensure die settings haven't shifted.
