Measuring block

[gun'sRgood]

I've got this neat Lyman sizing block that has 6 different calibers. I'd like to get another for pistol and other rifle calibers. But I can't seem to find one. I don't care if it's Lyman. The head spacing allowable variations is a nice feature. Also, What's the difference between a go and no-go? Mostly the no-go. Is it the wrong length and therefore would stick up out of the block? Or is it, well, what is the difference in measurements?

Go and NoGo are for checking head space on the chamber. The bolt must close on a Go, but Not on NoGo. There is also a field gauge which is larger than the NoGo.

I got the pistol one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00URUE80G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but of course it's unavailable from them now but try some of the other reloading suppliers.

I use a Hornady case gauge. It is a caliber specific single hole, so I keep it stored with that caliber's dies and tools.
I have a gauge for each caliber I reload. It is a nice quality check tool.

One thing I like about the Hornady case gauge is that it is made of steel and should last forever checking soft brass cases.

I use the 8 hole Lyman that is all 8 in the same caliber.
My 8 year old Grandson spotted the Makarov case in the gauge while he was checking ammo for me after I loaded them.
Chances are it would have fired fine but I'm still glad he found it.
The anodizing in these gauges is really hard and this gauge will probably last me a lifetime.
