Case Length/Head Space Gauges

[GunsNotPuns]

I'm looking for case length/head space gauges for the following calibres: 30-06, .303 Brit and 6.5 Jap (the last two might be tall orders, I know).

Any one know of a good source in Canada? I know Brownells has the 30-06 but they refuse to give shipping cost until you give then every piece of information including your credit card and homey don't play that.

If you are just looking to ensure that your resized brass will chamber, a case length gauge can be purchased at amazon.ca. Budget shooter supply has some too but he's closed for the summer.

I'm not sure about head space gauges.

I purchased some case length gauges from amazon.ca for the 30-06 (Lyman) and it works great.

Lord love a duck, I don't know why I didn't think of Amazon. Thanks for the reminder!

A shame no one seems to make them for .303 British though...

Hirsch Precision carries Forster head space gauges.

Buy the Hornady cartridge case headspace gauge and this will be the only gauge you will need. Meaning you do not have to buy a separate gauge for each caliber.

Below a good reason to "NOT" buy a Wilson type case gauge.

Below a brand new unfired Remington .303 British in my Wilson case gauge, this case would drop in further but the rim is hitting the inside of the gauge.

Below a fired case in the Wilson gauge, the amount the case is sticking above the gauge is how much longer the Enfield military chamber is.

Below a fired .223/5.56 case in my Hornady gauge.

Below the same case after full length resizing and the case shoulder pushed back .003. (.003 shoulder bump)
