This product performs its job perfectly. As a beginner re-loader, I wanted to ensure that my cartridges met the required standards, and this chamber gauge proved to be a quick and easy way to verify sizing. The product is very sturdy, made of high-grade materials, and it is effortless to use. Overall, I highly recommend this gauge to anyone who wants to ensure the accuracy and consistency of their reloads.

I recently purchased the 50-round .45 version of the chamber gauge from EGW, and as expected, the quality of the product is excellent. The finish, feel, and operation of the gauge are all indicative of EGW's commitment to quality. This gauge has made it so much more convenient to check the fit of rounds and verify the depth of the primer, and it has already paid for itself in terms of the time it has saved me. Compared to the 100-round Shok-Bottle version, I find the EGW 50 to be a more convenient size, particularly when dumping rounds into a GI can. I plan to purchase the 9mm version next and am currently keeping an eye out for sales or coupons to get the best deal. Overall, I highly recommend this gauge to anyone who wants to streamline their reloading process and ensure the quality of their ammunition.

For those who are reloading ammunition for competition or other high-stakes situations where reliability and peace of mind are crucial, a chamber checker is an indispensable tool. EGW is the manufacturer of the primary magazine measuring device used by USPSA for competition, which is mentioned in their rule book, and this level of quality carries over to their chamber checkers. I have personally used both the 7 and 50 hole pistol caliber checkers and have found them to be incredibly efficient and painless to use. These devices make it easy to complete the necessary task quickly and without hassle. The caliber and size options available, combined with their high quality and reasonable price when purchased from Optics Planet, make these chamber checkers a no-brainer for anyone who will be using them frequently.

After reloading for around three years, I encountered problems with my latest batch of .223 reloads. Specifically, some rounds wouldn't chamber. After doing some research online, I discovered these chamber checkers and their usefulness. Since receiving them, I have been able to identify and remove any rounds that won't chamber, and I haven't encountered any further issues. It's a relief to have resolved the problem and avoid any potential safety issues.

These blocks are fantastic for checking the size of cases. You can easily transfer the cases straight out of the sizing die into the block, with seven cases fitting at once. This allows you to empty the block and start the process again without having to stop for every single piece of brass, significantly increasing productivity. It's a must-have tool for those who reload in large volumes.

I have used this chamber checker to verify hundreds of rounds of reloaded ammunition. It not only allows me to check the overall length of the round but also detects any tightness that may cause the round to stick in the chamber of the rifle. I highly recommend this tool as a safety check for all reloaded ammunition before firing. It is built to last and is incredibly durable.

Recently, I started reloading 9mm semi-auto rounds for my two 9mm pistols. While one pistol cycled and fired the rounds perfectly, the other wouldn't even slide shut and lock into full battery. My initial thought was to increase the charge, but that didn't solve the problem. I tried everything I could think of but to no avail. Fortunately, I found some helpful answers in online forums that led me to realize that the issue was with the overall cartridge length (O.C.L.). By removing the barrel and fitting the reload to the breech, I was able to ensure that it fit as it should. It surprised me that there was such a significant difference between the two guns. This gauge solves all O.C.L. issues without requiring you to remove your barrel every time you want to reload a few rounds. It's a handy tool to have on your bench to quickly check that nothing has changed in your setup. As a beginner, my advice would be to set the bullet depth to the firearm you intend to use it in, as not all firearms are the same, and bullet depth can be controlled accordingly. I highly recommend buying the gauge and using it to avoid similar issues.

If you need your product to arrive quickly, do not choose the value shipping option. In my experience, it took two days to process my order and an additional seven days to ship it a mere 275 miles. I could have driven to the destination in just four hours. Despite the slow shipping, the chamber checker is an excellent tool that I use regularly and wouldn't reload ammunition without it.

If you're a competitive shooter who reloads their own ammunition, a chamber gauge is an essential tool to have. This tool is very effective and enables you to check multiple rounds at once, ensuring that your ammunition will chamber reliably and quickly during competition. Knowing that your rounds will function flawlessly during the pressure of timed events is of utmost importance.

I had been relying on a single round gauge from Dillon for years, but I decided to switch to EGW after learning that they produce high-precision items, including the official magazine gauge for USPSA. I had confidence that their product would have accurate sizes, and they did not disappoint.

This is an outstanding product works perfectly for my 40 cal glocks

If you are serious about make the best cartridge during reloading, the EGW Ammo Chamber Checker is a necessity! I've reloaded over 4000 rounds of various calibers, and every round goes through the chamber checker. I have used a micrometer because they did not pass the chamber check, and they were close to spec, but not close enough. Save yourself a lot of difficulties, and spend just a little more time preparing your rounds.
