Precision headspace inspection tool for .223 Remington rifle cases. Insert cases to verify they meet minimum and maximum allowable dimensions. Identifies cases exceeding safe limits for immediate disposal.
Reloading demands precision at every step. The Lyman Case Headspace Gauge ensures your bottleneck rifle cases meet critical safety and accuracy standards after resizing.
Proper headspace is fundamental to safe, accurate ammunition. Cases that deviate from specification can cause dangerous pressure spikes or inconsistent performance. This gauge gives you confidence that your reloads are within safe parameters.
Simple Operation: Simply insert your resized case into the gauge. The gauge immediately shows whether your case falls within the minimum and maximum allowable headspace dimensions.
Dual Function: Beyond headspace inspection, the gauge also identifies cases that exceed maximum allowable case length—another critical safety parameter.
Lyman recommends inspecting all bottleneck rifle cases after resizing. Any case found to have excessive headspace should be destroyed immediately. This tool makes that inspection quick and reliable.
Whether you're a precision rifle competitor or a careful handloader, this gauge is an essential addition to your reloading bench. It's the difference between ammunition you can trust and ammunition that's merely "close enough."
