It's easy to interpolate by feel between the .001" cylinders by how easily a case slips over the last one before stopping, so you can estimate case ID to the nearest .0005". Note that this tool is best for measuring case necks that have been both re-sized and expanded. Re-sized but unexpanded necks (before expanding with a mandrel, for example) are sometimes too small in diameter to pass even the smallest diameter on the tool. This tool comes package in a very cool, spiral-locking, clear plastic case. ## Frequently Bought Together - Forster Products .277 Gauge Neck Tension Gauge, Case Mouth Gauges for Reloading, Case Prep, Four Stepped Diameters with Size Etched on Each Tool - Hornady Premium Powder Funnel Kit, 586059 - The High Capacity, Anti-Static Aluminum Funnel to Avoid Messy Powder Spills - Includes 9 Caliber Specific Adapters and Form-Fitted Storage Case - Imperial Redding Sizing Die Wax 2 Ounce Tin Md: 07600 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/641625149-forster-products-277-gauge-neck-tension-gauge-case-mouth-gauges](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/641625149-forster-products-277-gauge-neck-tension-gauge-case-mouth-gauges) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
