8mm Gauge Question

Recommended Posts

I have heard that there are some 8mm(7.92x57) head space gauges that aren't made properly. If I remember correctly, the shoulder angle is not proper as compared with European specs. Does anyone know about this? If that is the case, which are the gauges to stay away from, and which ones are the ones to use?

An FYI, hope that I can word this clearly enough.

 

If you take 2 cartridges or a cartridge and a gauge.

 

Come at each other with their center-lines parallel

 

something like this...

The 2 shoulders should mate perfectly.

 

If they don't, I think that you'll have your answer.

 

Tinker :rolleyes:
