In the realm of precision shooting, consistency is king. Forster's Co-Ax Case & Cartridge Inspector stands as a testament to this principle, offering shooters a reliable tool to ensure their ammunition performs with unwavering accuracy. This device measures three critical dimensions that dictate uniformity: neck wall thickness and case bullet and cartridge runout (often referred to as concentricity).
The design uniquely supports both the case and cartridge, allowing for precise alignment checks relative to the centerline or long axis—a feature crucial for achieving consistent shot placement. With measurements in fine increments of .001 inches, it provides an exceptional level of detail necessary for discerning reloaders.
This versatile inspector accommodates a wide range of cartridges from the nimble .204 Ruger up through the venerable .45-70 Government, making it suitable for various needs whether you're focused on small game or big bore pursuits. Its maximum overall case length capacity reaches up to 3.50 inches.
A precision dial indicator ensures accuracy down to .001 inch—an indispensable attribute when striving for perfection in your reloading process. Engineered with quality automotive-type castings, this tool promises durability alongside its meticulous measuring capabilities.
Additionally, it utilizes the same pilots as Forster Case Trimmers (with an exception noted for .17 caliber), integrating seamlessly into existing setups while enhancing your ability to produce consistently accurate ammunition.
