Thread: Alternative way to measure shoulder brass.

A bit of French ingenuity …I hope it works.
Following another post where people don’t necessarily have a gauge to measure the headspace on brass.
Simply use your seating die, strip it completely, et voila you have a free headspace tool within your reloading die box. Note, it does work with hornady dies. The advantage also, is that you have a gauge even for those weird wildcat rounds like 458 socom ..etc.

Please give it a try, and see how it goes.
If it does or does not work please report back.
Thank you.
