Factory seconds

[DirtDart]

Gents,
I bought 400 factory seconds from midway. They are 208 eld in .30cal. I would like to check the diameter on these. Is there a gage that I can drop them in to measure the diameter? I am not looking to measure the ogive or, the base to ogive, just the dimeter.

A caliper should give you results to the 0.0005" level. A micrometer will also work. If your are looking beyond that you ar deep in the weeds.

Doom,
Thanks for the reply. That is my back up option, as I do not want to mic each bullet. I was looking for something like a case gage.

Set your caliper to whatever diameter you are looking for and lock it. Makes it a go-nogo gauge.

Thanks Doom.
