The Sinclair Chamber Length Gauges are designed so the handloader can determine the true length of his rifle's chamber when measuring from the bolt face to the end of the chamber's neck. This measurement will tell you how much excess case length your chamber may have over published trim lengths in reloading handbooks. The Sinclair Gauges are inserted into a fired, unprimed shortened case and then chambered into your rifle. The insert pushes back into the case when it contacts the end of your chamber. You then extract the case and measure the overall length. The gauge is made of 12L14 soft steel so it will not damage your chamber. Step-by-step instructions accompany each gauge. The gauges can be used over and over again. The differences between published trim lengths and the actual length of your chamber can be quite significant. You could be over trimming your cases by .030 inch or more. NOTE: The 22 caliber gauge will not work on thin-necked cases such as the 22 Hornet, 218 Bee, or cartridges based on these cases. The 30 caliber gauge will not work on teh 30-30 Winchester. None of the gauges listed will work on tight-necked chambers except for the G-243T. Should not be used in handguns, semi automatic rifles, lever actions rifles and pump action rifles.Delivery time approx. 7-14 days.
The Sinclair Chamber Length Gauges are expertly crafted to assist handloaders in accurately determining the true length of their rifle's chamber. By measuring from the bolt face to the end of the chamber's neck, you can easily identify any excess case length your chamber may possess compared to the published trim lengths found in reloading handbooks.
The difference between published trim lengths and the actual length of your chamber can be significant, with the potential for over-trimming your cases by .030 inch or more. Please note that:

5.56 NATO gaged Chamber length new DPMS 10/09/2016
Followed instructions as provided and measured the chamber 3 times and the length came out exactly 1.781 on the chamber. Knowing this I will size all my Lake City brass to 1.771. Which is where the vast major of measures to any way. Now I have confidence in my reloads thanks to this marvelous little cheap gage. I will keep all my brass separate and will use the 1.771 brass for match shooting and everything else for plinking.

I had no trouble making a case to accept this gauge. I'm not sure why so many reviewers had difficulties. To make this easier for you gents, trim a re-sized case to 1.640 then insert the gauge. Yes, the case looks short and only has a little bit of neck left, but it works great!
One thing I would change about the directions....it says to drill out the flash hole to make access to push the gauge back out. This is not needed. I used a kinetic bullet puller to "lengthen/re-set" the case with gauge installed. It only needs to be lengthened by 10 thou between uses.
