.224 Valkyrie 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.
