Hey everybody. I have a question about the LE Wilson Case length headspace gauge for 300 blackout.
I was using the Hornady case gauge and was having issues with the fully loaded round not sitting flat in it once the bullet was seated, despite the rounds chambering fine. I ended up purchasing the LE Wilson Case Length Headspace gauge to determine if my Hornady Gauge was out of spec. All of the rounds drop into the LE Wilson gauge just fine despite being loaded or unloaded. However even un-sized brass is dropping into it just fine as well. Is it supposed to do that? I’m all of my other gauges unsized brass almost never sits correctly in the gauge. I’m confused about what is actually being measured with the LE Wilson gauge. Is it safe to assume that if a completed round sits flat in the gauge that it will chamber in the gun without issue? Sorry for the dumb question but I’m kind of at A loss for what to do about loading this caliber. My last post has more information about the exact issues I’m having.
