Precision reloading tool for measuring headspace and bullet seating depth to the lands. Base unit without dial indicator—pair with your own compatible dial for accurate cartridge measurements.
The Redding Instant Indicator is an essential tool for serious reloaders who demand accuracy in their ammunition. This base unit allows you to measure both headspace and bullet seating depth relative to the lands—critical measurements for consistent, safe ammunition.
This version includes the base tool and caliber-specific insert for 6.5 Creedmoor, without a dial indicator. This makes it an economical choice if you already own a compatible dial indicator.
Headspace Measurement: Insert a fired case to determine how much your brass has stretched, helping you monitor case life and maintain consistent chamber fit.
Bullet Seating Depth: Measure your seated bullets relative to the lands—the most accurate way to optimize powder charges and bullet performance.
You'll need to supply your own dial indicator with a 0.375" stem diameter. This approach keeps costs down if you're already equipped with compatible measuring instruments.
Precise headspace and seating depth measurements are the foundation of consistent, accurate ammunition. Whether you're loading for precision rifle competition or hunting, this tool helps you achieve the tight tolerances that separate good ammunition from great ammunition.
