L.E. Wilson Case Gage 300 PRC$38.72
Availability: In Stock
The L.E. Wilson Case Gage 6.5 PRC is an essential one-piece measuring tool for reloaders who want to dial in accurate, consistent headspace and avoid the common mistake of over-sizing brass. Whether you're setting up your full-length resizing die or verifying that fired cases are within spec, this gage gives you the data you need to keep your ammunition safe and your brass in service longer. It measures both overall length (to flag cases that need trimming) and datum-to-head length (to confirm proper headspace), making it the foundation of a dialed-in handloading operation.
Headspace errors and excessive resizing are silent brass-killers. A case that's resized too aggressively won't last more than a few reloads, and improper headspace can create safety and reliability problems downrange. By checking fired cases against the L.E. Wilson gage and using a caliper to record the numbers, you can set your dies to the sweet spot: just enough sizing to ensure reliable feeding and chambering, while preserving case life. This one-piece design is straightforward and durable, with a knurled middle grip for confident handling at the loading bench.
The gage is made to work with 6.5 PRC specifications and comes with simple instructions to get you started. If you're serious about reloading—whether you're handloading match ammo for the range, hunting rounds for precision rifle, or building reliable field loads—this tool belongs in your kit.

A case gage is a precision reference tool that lets you measure whether fired brass is within safe dimensions before resizing. For 6.5 PRC, it confirms overall length (so you know when to trim) and datum-to-head length (so you can set your die to proper headspace). This prevents the common reloading error of over-sizing brass, which drastically shortens case life and can create feeding or chamber issues.
Insert a fired case into the gage and measure the length of the case inside the gage using a caliper. The gage serves as your reference dimension. By comparing fired cases and recording measurements over several reloading cycles, you can determine the exact headspace setting your die needs to minimize resizing while maintaining reliable function.
No. This is a standard (one-piece) gage designed for non-belted cartridges like the 6.5 PRC. L.E. Wilson also makes an adjustable-style gage for belted magnum cartridges, but this regular style is the correct choice for your 6.5 PRC brass.
The package includes the one-piece gage itself and printed instructions. You'll need to supply your own calipers to take measurements.
