Looking for a bore and shell length gauging tool

[DuggerWebster]

So would yall have any recommendations for a bore length gauge tool? I've got some SxS and have no idea what they are...

Thank you for any help.

I purchased one from Galazan a few years ago. Seems to be accurate.

Dugger,

You can make your own chamber length gauge.

As my picture shows below, I used some empty RST hulls (other plastic bodied hulls will work OK too) and cut the brass base off nice and square. Cutting them to an exact 2 inch length will help in measuring the chamber length. Clean up the cut edge with some sandpaper.

I insert the nice squared off end into the empty chamber until it stops. It has very likely stopped at the beginning of the forcing cone.

With a machinist's scale, just measure how far into the chamber your squared off hull is and add it to the length of hull. That will get you the chamber length.

Make one for each gauge.
