Description
Photo for reference only.Stop wondering if your reloads meet min chamber dimensions? This is the gage for you; made with the same tight tolerances you have come to expect from all your Wilson Tools. Best used if you are loading ammo to work in multiple gun chambers of the same caliber. L.E. Wilson recommends using this in conjunction with the Regular Case Gage to prevent over-sizing. Gage verifies Min Chamber Dimensions and OAL for SAAMI.
NOTE
: Check with your bullet manufacturer to verify OAL this will vary depending on what grain and style bullet you are using.
Min Dimensions Gages
are made to
SAAMI
specifications for
Min Chamber. SAAMI Min Chamber
specs are slightly
LARGER
than
Max Cartridge
. The purpose of this gage is to check your reloaded rounds to see if they meet
Min Chamber Specs
. Therefore, if your rounds do not enter the Gage, then this is pointing to an issue with your reloaded round against SAAMI specifications.
On the other hand, if your rounds
DO
enter the Gage, but
DO NOT
chamber in your gun. This points to you having a very tight chambered gun and would assume either an i
mproperly cut reamer
or a
chamber that was cut below Min Chamber Dimension headspace
.
This does
NOT
mean that your round will not chamber in your specific gun's chamber. This only means the round
DOES NOT
meet SAAMI Min Chamber dimensions and is telling you to take another look before deciding that your round is good to fire.
