I found this at Brownells and I want to make sure it's the correct gauge to use for 5.56 chambers.

That looks correct. You'll want all three guages;"go""no-go"&"field".
I got mine from [url=bushmaster.com/shopping/gunsmith/hg0223g.asp]Bushmaster[/url]

I know Brownells shows the 30-06 gauge in the picture but I was seriously asking if the item# and description is the correct guage for a 5.56 chamber. It did look funny the first time I saw it too.[:D]
