Redding Instant Indicator/260 Rem

The Redding Instant Indicator for .260 Remington is a precision headspace and seating depth gauge designed for reloaders who demand consistency. Whether you're working up loads for precision rifle competition, long-range hunting, or high-volume shooting, this tool gives you quick, repeatable measurements to .001" accuracy—critical for cartridges where uniformity directly affects velocity, accuracy, and safety.

Reloading is as much about control as it is about craftsmanship. The Instant Indicator lets you sort bullets for consistency, evaluate fired cases from multiple rifles, verify your sizing die setup, and confirm that loaded rounds meet your specifications. You'll catch variations in trim length, shoulder bump, and seating depth before they reach your chamber—saving time on the bench and preventing costly mistakes at the range.

This .260 Rem–specific gauge comes ready to use with a bore diameter bushing, surface contactor, shoulder contactor, and headspace gauge. While designed for the .260, it can also be used across the .260 Rem family of cartridges sharing the same shoulder angle, giving your reloading setup flexibility as your ammunition needs grow. Instructions are included to get you up and running immediately.
