7.62x25 Case Length Guage

[jcuffe6240]

I have a number of spent Tokarev brass that I am going to start reloading. Has anyone found a case length gauge for one of these? I have made a dummy round but noticed that it was tight in the firearm and I figured that the case needed more trimming.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

get yourself a micrometer with a dial indicator. Less than $20 at Princess Auto. Works for me.

Or a digital caliper from Canadian tire, $36 if you have to pay full price.
Nice thing about a caliper like that is that you can measure all sorts of things, like case lengths, overall lengths, diameters....etc.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but I have a set of calipers. I was just wondering if anyone actually produces the case length gauge for the trimming the cases or is this something I will need to special order from Lee.

Contact Budget Shooter Supply. He's a site sponsor and can modify an existing gauge to work. I got mine from him and it works great!

So, using those calipers, are your cases over-length?
