When purchasing Lyman or any other brand from eGoods365.com store, you can be sure that (a) you are purchasing from US based company with the most responsive and friendly customer service; (b) an authentic, not a counterfeit and not a refurbished product.
To achieve the highest degree of safety and accuracy Lyman recommends that all bottleneck rifle cases be inspected after resizing to ensure that the proper headspace dimension is maintained. The best way to check this critical dimension is with a Lyman case length/headspace gauge. The reloader simply inserts the case into the gauge to insure that it does not exceed the maximum or fall below the minimum allowable headspace. In addition the gauge will identify a case which exceeds the maximum allowable case length.
Caution: Any case found with excessive headspace should be destroyed immediately.
