Simplest .303 gauge is a steel disc, like a washer. A complete set could include discs .064", .068", and .074". If you want only one, the .074" is the one you want; its the one that indicates that the rifle may be too loose to use.
Should be possible to make these, if you have the measuring tools to guarantee accuracy.

Although not directly on point, here's an article in the MKB that might help.....

Sure, nothing to it.
Just chuck a piece of brass in a lathe and turn the last inch of a dummy shell with the required rim size.
Found out after I made mine that I should have left a small diameter stub on the non-rim end. Makes it easyer to hold in the lathe while you turn the taper on the shell surface.

yes they are easy to make if you have a lathe
and a good set of tools.
0.074" is the one to have.
