Hardened steel case length gauge and shell holder for .243 WSSM brass. Precision-crafted to SAAMI specs for accurate trimming and case mouth squaring. Trims to 1.650-1.670 inches.
The Lee Case Length Gauge (model 90389) is an essential reloading tool for shooters who demand precision in their ammunition preparation. This hardened steel gauge provides a fast, accurate method for trimming brass cases to proper length while simultaneously squaring the case mouth—a critical step for consistent, reliable ammunition.
The gauge works in conjunction with the Lee Case Trimmer Cutter and Lock Stud (or Zip Trim system). The included shell holder securely positions your brass case during the trimming operation, ensuring consistent results every time. This combination of tools helps eliminate variables that can affect ammunition performance.
Proper case length is fundamental to safe, accurate reloading. Cases that are too long can cause excessive pressure; cases that are too short may not chamber properly. Squaring the case mouth ensures proper bullet seating and consistent cartridge overall length. These precision tools give you control over these critical variables.
