Case Length Gage
For: 45-70 Government
CLG-4570
NEW!!
The L. E. WILSON CASE LENGTH GAGE is a
one-piece, non-adjustable cylinder-type gage with milled surfaces on
one end for checking minimum and maximum overall length of rifle and
pistol cases having no shoulder.
This LE WILSON CASE LENGTH GAGE is different from and should not
be confused with the standard L E WILSON CARTRIDGE CASE GAGE which checks
both overall length and cone-to-head length of rifle cases such as 30-06
which have the more usual profile of tapered body, shoulder and neck.
If cases have been fired and resized many times, some will be found to be over maximum length. Unless trimmed back to normal length they may bottom in the chamber and in extreme examples may be forced partly into the throat or ball seat, causing pressure variations and consequent inaccuracy.
Perfection in crimping pistol and rifle cases can be attained by watching length changes and trimming back uniform length and squareness with the WILSON CARTRIDGE CASE TRIMMER.
The WILSON CASE LENGTH GAGE gives you a safe maximum and practical minimum length to achieve by trimming.
Notes:
Allows reloaders to easily identify cases that are beyond maximum length
