    WTB 6x45 Cartridge Case Gauge

    Now that I have a 6x45 barrel coming in I need a 6x45 cartridge gauge.

    I bought one directly from LE Wilson. They ran a batch some years ago and still had some in a drawer. if no one has one LE Wilson may have.

    So, can I ask what a "case gauge" does that a dial caliper cannot do?

    It's more like a Go-No-Go guage. Either the case/loaded cartridge drops into it or not. I use several of the full length Sheridan gauges that actually have a slot machined out so you can see if case was sized right. https://sheridanengineering.com/

    OK, I do that with the gun's chamber with the striker removed.

    If I am correct the Lyman 223 rem. gauge also works with the 6x45. Does anyone have one of these?

    FYI, the 223 gauges will not work for 6X45.
