The Forster NTG-243 Neck Tension Gage is an inspection tool designed for reloaders working with .243 / 6 mm (.243) cases. It enables quick, repeatable screening and sorting of brass after case neck sizing and before bullet seating. The tool’s stepped diameters are etched on the metal so users can identify the inside neck diameter that produces a slip fit and refine neck tension accordingly.
