Have you ever been unsure if you were fully removing the crimps from primer pockets when swaging or chamfering?
Have you wanted a way to detect out-of-spec loose or too shallow primer pockets quickly and easily?
The Swage Gage primer pocket gage
Primers and primer pockets vary. Simply seating a primer doesn't always tell you the whole story. With this simple tool you can quickly and easily know for sure. As an extra benefit, you don't risk a primer detonation or a ruined primer cup if the pocket is bad.
I created the prototype for this tool because I needed a way to check the swage setting on my Dillon 1050 for complete crimp removal. I realized a "no-go" gage for pockets too loose to hold a primer would be useful as well, and the Swage Gage was born. I use this gage to frequently batch check the reprocessed brass I sell. Along with my Wilson case gauge, this has become an important tool that I use every day. It's one of those things that once you have it, you think "how did I ever get by without it?"
Currently for small pistol and small rifle primer pockets. One gage works for all small primer pockets, since they are specified the same. Large primer versions will be available at some point in the future.
So come get a
Swage Gage primer pocket gage. It's a simple tool that's well worth it.
