Lyman recommends that all bottleneck rifle cases be inspected after resizing to maintain proper headspace dimension and ensure the highest degree of safety and accuracy. The best way to check this critical dimension is with a Lyman case length/headspace gauge. This precision tool is manufactured from steel and designed specifically for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge.
Simply insert the case into the gauge to verify it does not exceed the maximum or fall below the minimum allowable headspace. The gauge will also identify cases that exceed the maximum allowable case length. Lyman’s gauges eliminate the guesswork in reloading, ensuring precise and reliable results every time.
