Dillon Precision 38 Special caliber case gauge

Dillon Precision 38 Special caliber case gauge

The case gauge is a checking tool that replicates the dimensions of a cartridge chamber. By inserting the reloaded ammunition into the gauge, you can verify in one quick step that the diameter, length, and crimp are within tolerances: a cartridge that enters and exits freely and sits flush with the reference surface will also feed correctly in your chamber.

In progressive reloading, spot-checking with a case gauge is the fastest way to catch out-of-spec brass, insufficient crimps, or base bulges before the ammunition reaches the range. This gauge is designed for the 38 Special caliber and is identified by Dillon with part number 15159.
