This Lyman rifle case length/headspace gauge is designed for use with .224 Valkyrie cases to help reloaders verify proper headspace and case length after resizing. The gauge allows the reloader to insert a resized bottleneck rifle case and confirm it does not exceed the maximum or fall below the minimum allowable headspace. The gauge also identifies cases that exceed the maximum allowable case length and should not be used.
