Lyman Single Caliber Rifle Ammo Checkers

Nothing more to say. It works as it should.

If you reload your own ammo, or if you just want to make sure that your new factory ammo will chamber in your weapon, then you need a case gauge of the correct caliber. Drop the case into the gauge, and if it sits flat with the end of the gauge you are good to go. If the case sits above the gauge then it will not chamber properly in your firearm. It’s that simple. Gives me the confidence that it will go “bang” when needed. LGB.

I should have read the description more thoroughly. This is a cartridge checker. It's used to verify that loaded ammunition will fit into a SAAMI specified chamber. You could also do this by dropping each round of ammo into the chamber of your firearm, albeit not as conveniently.This is not a case gage that can be used to determine the headspacing on a piece of resized brass to ensure that the neck has been pushed back far enough (although it may do that), but it absolutely cannot be used to check to see whether the unloaded brass is between the minimum and maximum trim length prior to reloading it.I love the anodized aluminum. It'll never rust and the surface finish is very hard so it'll resist wear and scratches. I wish my case gages were anodized aluminum. I kept the Lyman cartridge checker as a quick check of loaded ammo, but I had to buy a case gage, because that's really what I needed.

I brought this to give me a tool for another level of inspection for serviceability. I am using this gauge to sort a very large quantity of surplus de-linked machine gun ammo I got for cheap plinking. This gauge helps me find flaws in the ammunition which would not be obvious to the naked eye...this quickly tells me if the round will chamber or not.Note the gauge will only show if the ammo is loaded correctly and if it is within factory specs for a properly headspaced gun. It will not check case length. Nor will it show a round that is under sized (over resized).

what can I say it is the right size and works really good

came with a ding right where you don't want one(entrance lip).. took a super-fine round jewelers file to it to remove it.. nothing I like better than taking a file to an aluminum gauge that someone returned, then the blind guy sent out as new.. It's fine now, but really, dude?

If you are going to reload, this is an essential tool. I thought I was getting very consistent results, but using this checker, I found that I had minor deficiencies in several of my rounds. Obviously, even a minor issue can be huge at a longer range, so this is a great first stop in checking all my rounds. I was hesitant about buying from the seller, after having been scammed on Grab-A-Gun, but this was a flawless transaction, and I recommend them highly.

Great make on these I like them better than the lee precision guages

Great reloading ammo checker

Great bit of kit no worries on the case length when resizing or using factory ammoDrop in the case or whole round and sorted!

Lyman quality and love the colour ... own 4 different calibers ... I can recommend this product to reloaders.

product came in a timely manner and in good working order. Thank you.

Saves time and guessing. Every reloader must have for every cal. Bullet fits no gun jams.
