Forster Products 30-06, Field Headspace Gauge, SAAMI Dimensioned, Rimless, Hardened Steel, Precision Ground

• 30-06 SPRINGFIELD: Use to check headspace of 25-06, 6.5-06, 270 Win., 30-06, 8mm-06, 338-06, & 35 Whelen.
• RIMLESS CARTRIDGE HEADSPACE: The proper use of Headspace Gauges is the most reliable way to test rifle chamber length. Headspace in a rimless cartridge is the distance between the bolt face and a datum line, determined by SAAMI, where the front of the cartridge rests on its shoulder when the bolt is closed.
• FIELD: FIELD Gauges are slightly shorter than the SAAMI maximum in order to give a small safety margin. If a rifle closes on a FIELD Gauge, its chamber is dangerously close to, or longer than, SAAMI-specified maximum chamber size. If chamber headspace is excessive, the gun should be taken out of service until it has been inspected and repaired by a competent gunsmith.
• PRECISION MACHINED: Manufactured from top-quality, hardened steel and precision ground to ANSI and SAAMI tolerances. Headspace tolerance ground to a very exacting ±.00015. Each Headspace Gauge thoroughly inspected with NIST-certified measurement tools to ensure the highest quality product.
• MEASURING MEANINGFUL HEADSPACE: Properly speaking, and for safety purposes, one measures “headspace” as the difference between the length of a standard cartridge, as represented by a Gauge, and the gun’s actual chamber length , when the head of the cartridge is flush against the bolt face.
