6.5 Creedmoor Redding Instant Indicator w/ Dial Indicator

6.5 Creedmoor Redding Instant Indicator w/ Dial Indicator

The Redding Instant Indicator is designed to help the handloader wring the most out of their reloads. 

This tool gives the handloader a quick and accurate method for comparing the amount of sizing occurring as you setup your full-length sizing die. You can measure the shoulder position of a fired case and your full-length sized case to determine how much sizing is occurring. You can also use it to check bullet seating uniformity or consistency from load to load. Redding now includes a “Range Adapter” with each tool which allows you to use it at your bench at home or in the field without using a reloading press.

Includes:

• One Redding Instant Indicator for a specific cartridge
• One 1” x .001” Dial Indicator
• One bore diameter bushing
• One surface contactor
• One shoulder contactor
• Headspace Gauge
• Complete Instructions

 Features:

• Check the uniformity of full-length sizing or “shoulder bump”
• Help reloader adjust full-length die to achieve the desired amount of sizing or headspace (amount of bump).
• Check the uniformity of sized cases
• Check bullet seating depth uniformity
• Sort cases that have been fired in two different firearms
• Check trim length consistency
• Sort bullets for uniformity
• Use of tool as headspace tool can result in extended brass life due to reducing the amount of sizing and work hardening.

 Usage:

• Insert fired case into body
• Note reading on indicator
• Adjust full length die so maximum gap is achieved between shellholder and die. (see die instructions)
• Incrementally in small turns of the die, insert sized case into Instant Indicator until desired amount of sizing occurs (difference between fired and newly sized case).
• Most handloaders try to achieve .002” to ,003” depending on firearm, application, etc. Usually, you want a little more sizing or headspace in semi-autos.
