I have one of the original Stoney point chamber all gages. I want to make some more cases for it. I cant remember if the threads are 5/16 32 tpi or 36 tpi. Are they the same as the Hornaday copy of this tool ( lock and load chamber all)? I want to make 38-55, 40-65, 45-70 ( only one available thru hornady) and 45-90. They are simple to make just drill the primer pocket and flash hole out and tap. I loaned the tap I made out and didn't get it back.

I'm pretty sure that they are 5/16 X 36. Would you like to borrow a tap and drill bit?

I made a tap for it Loaned it out and haven't gotten it back, problem is I cant remember who I loaned it to. They arnt that expensive Ill buy one and have it ( till I loan it out again). I just couldn't remember the TPI and didn't want to dig into the gerstner for the thread pitch gage.

Second the 5/16 x 36 response. It worked for me.

I have never ordered that size from them but I have ordered other special sizes from them and have been happy with the product.
