    WTT/WTB 30-30 Winchester Case length Gauge

    I need one, and I have a bunch of other Wilson and CH cartridge holders for a trimmer to swap. Wilson or a Hornady would be fine. I have two bolt guns to load for, and will have to check them after this firing.
    What do you need? Any other things you are searching for? Shipping cost would be reciprocal. If not, do you have one you would part with reasonably? Thank in advance!

    Have you considered just using a dial caliper ? It can be set and used for all cases.

    Ipopum is totally right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can't tell much of anything about your load other then length with a gauge and a dial caliper has dozens of uses in reloading so why waste the money and just get what you will end up getting anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gentlemen..... I own and use my Mitutoyo 4" everyday that I reload. The sole reason that I want the case gauge is that I [B]CAN[B] check the length of a given batch of brass to determine if I need to get out my Wilson/Sinclair trimmer and shrink them to the desired length. With my rather abused fingers, hands, and wrists due to a life of physical work and play, I can pop them in and out much faster than handling the calipers for the same chore. I hope that is OK with you!

    MEANWHILE.....I am still looking for a Case Gauge for 30-30 and can pay cash or trade what you need.

    I use Forster case length gages with all my rifles and would not do without them. With it I can check headspace on a sized case, overall length(to see if it needs trimming) and whether my size die needs adjustment or even if it is not sizing correctly. my experience anyway, james
