Ensure precision in your reloading process with the Sinclair Chamber Length Gage.
The Sinclair Chamber Length Gauges are expertly designed to assist handloaders in 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 accurately assess how much excess case length your chamber may have compared to published trim lengths found in reloading handbooks.
Key Features:
- The gauges are inserted into a fired, unprimed shortened case and then chambered into your rifle.
- When the insert contacts the end of your chamber, it pushes back into the case, allowing for precise measurement.
- Constructed from 12L14 soft steel, the gauge will not damage your chamber.
- Step-by-step instructions are provided with each gauge for easy use.
- Reusable design allows for multiple measurements over time.
It's crucial to note that the differences between published trim lengths and the actual length of your chamber can be quite significant. You may be over-trimming your cases by .030 inch or more, which can affect performance.
Important Notes:
- The 22 caliber gauge is not suitable for thin-necked cases such as the 22 Hornet, 218 Bee, or cartridges based on these cases.
- The 30 caliber gauge is incompatible with the 30-30 Winchester.
- None of the gauges listed will work on tight-necked chambers, except for the G-243T.
- This product should not be used in handguns, semi-automatic rifles, lever-action rifles, or pump-action rifles.
