    WTB, 22-250 Headspace Gauges

    I know it's not Grendel related but does anybody have a set of 22-250 gauges they'd like to sell or rent to me. This is a one time usage project, doing a barrel swap on a Savage.

    I have no affiliation with this company but the price seems fair. Might be an option if no one else chimes in.

      Thank you VASCAR2. I highly recommend reamerrentals.com. Easypeasy, they send the gauges with a return label. Get your job done and put them back in the mail. I received the gauge needed, set the headspace and got the gauges back in the mail same day. $25, $7 for the gauges, $18 for shipping. Beats having to buy them.

        You know you can Head space a chamber with a sized piece of brass and masking tape on the case head. One piece is .005 which is a go and two is .010 which is a no go. I try to set them around .007-.008 .

          Yes, that's one way of doing it but no I'm not comfortable doing it that way. Especially on a gun I will be selling.

          And besides, reamerrentals.com even sent a complimentary pen.
