To achieve the highest degree of safety and accuracy, Lyman recommends that all bottleneck rifle cases be inspected after resizing to ensure that the proper headspace dimension is maintained. The best way to check this critical dimension is with a Lyman case length/headspace gauge. The reloader simply inserts the case into the gauge to insure that it does not exceed the maximum or fall below the minimum allowable headspace. In addition, the gauge will identify a case which exceeds the maximum allowable case length. Caution: Any case found with excessive headspace should be destroyed immediately.

Lyman maximum cartridge gauges check all critical dimensions of pistol ammunition to insure proper functioning. These precision made gauges allow the reloader to check the case length, diameter and overall cartridge length of pistol ammunition. This inspection is considered mandatory by top competitive shooters who demand 100% reliability for their competition ammo.

These Ammo Checkers are gauges that allow a reloader to quickly confirm that their ammunition will fit in their chamber. Machined from solid blocks of 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum and cut with custom tooling to SAAMI minimum chamber dimensions. Ammo Checkers are available in three designs covering most common handgun and rifle calibers. One gauge will work with a variety of calibers. Just drop your loaded rounds in the ammo checker, and if the round fits into the gauge, it will fit in the gun's chamber. Each caliber is clearly engraved on the gauge. Bright orange anodizing makes them easy to find on your reloading bench.
