Lee Case Length Gauge & Shell Holder for .45 Colt
Lee Case Length Gauge & Shell Holder .45 Colt
The Lee Case Length Gauge & Shell Holder .45 Colt is a calibre-specific combination designed for trimming .45 Colt cartridge cases to a consistent length. The case length gauge determines the trimming length and is used with a suitable Lee case trimming system.
Consistent Case Length for Reloading
When reloading revolver cartridges, consistent case length is important, particularly for achieving a uniform roll crimp. Although revolver cases generally require trimming less frequently than rifle cases, trimming .45 Colt cases can help maintain consistency during case preparation.
The Lee Case Length Gauge is used together with the Lee Cutter & Lock Stud. The fixed length of the gauge limits the cutting process, while the matching shell holder keeps the cartridge case positioned during trimming. This allows multiple cases to be trimmed to a consistent length without repeatedly adjusting the trimming setting.
Specifically Designed for .45 Colt
This version is designed for .45 Colt cartridge cases, also commonly known as .45 Long Colt. The steel case length gauge provides a fixed trimming length and is intended for use with suitable Lee case trimming systems, including the Lee Cutter & Lock Stud and Cutter with Ball Grip.
