The L.E. Wilson Case Gage 308 Win. is a single-piece cartridge case measuring tool built to help reloaders set up full-length resizing dies accurately and catch one of the most common mistakes in the loading process—oversizing brass. This straightforward go/no-go design lets you quickly verify overall case length and measure headspace from the cartridge datum (shoulder) to the head, which is exactly what you need to dial in your press and protect case life.
Precision case gauges are especially useful when you're sorting and prepping fired brass or checking new ammunition before it goes downrange. By catching headspace creep and case growth early, you avoid the frustration of brass that won't chamber or, worse, a resizing die that's compressing cases more than necessary. Many precision rifle shooters and serious handloaders keep one of these in their bench kit as a quick reality check before the sizing process begins.
L.E. Wilson case gages are made to tight tolerances and built to last. The tool includes straightforward instructions to get you started, and it pairs seamlessly with a dial caliper for measurable results you can trust. If you're pushing for consistency in your reloading or trying to extend the life of quality brass, this gauge takes the guesswork out of headspace verification.
| Caliber | .308 Winchester |
| Overall Length (OAL) | 2.494" |
| Outer Diameter (OD) | .991" |
| Large End ID | .473" |
| Small End ID | .347" |
| Finish | Silver with knurled center grip |
| Included | Case gage and instructions |
The gage comes with the tool itself and printed instructions to get you started using it at your reloading bench.
Insert your fired or resized case into the gage until it seats fully. Then use a dial caliper to measure the distance from the cartridge's datum (shoulder) to its head. This measurement tells you whether your resizing die is set correctly and whether the case is building headspace over time due to repeated firing and resizing.
Yes. The case gage is specifically designed to help you dial in your 7/8"-14 press-type full-length resizing die by giving you an accurate baseline for headspace and letting you adjust the die until your fired cases size correctly without unnecessary compression.
This is the regular style gage for .308 Winchester, which is not a belted case. L.E. Wilson also makes adjustable-style gauges specifically for belted magnum cartridges, where the belt position requires different measurement considerations.
