S&W-VarminatorGo / No Go Dies
Does anyone know of a website that might have a Go / No Go die for .223?
I have loaded about 700 rounds and they all are good with the measurements, but thought it would be nice to go over them all.
Go/No go gauges are used to measure headspace in rifles. Not used for checking loaded ammunition. I think you're looking for case guages. These are a piece of steel with a chamber cut into them (usually at minimum dimensions). You drop your loaded round into the gauge to see if it chambers.
I'd try Dillon precision. I have several of their case guages that I use for handgun ammo. They work fine. I think this is what you're looking for:

the jiggerMIDWAY USA has a good inventory of Wilson and Lyman guages.
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!

hawkinsActually the chamber of your rifle is the gage
that's what you are trying to fit.
Good luck!
L.E. Wilson cartridge case gages!
Most reloading suppliers carry Wilson products.
http://www.lewilson.comThey will custom make a gage for you at reasonable cost(I think reasonable any way).
Great company with great products IMHO.
