Redding Instant Indicator/6.5X47 Lapua
$132.00
The Redding Instant Indicator for 6.5x47 Lapua is a precision measurement tool designed for serious hand loaders who demand uniformity across their ammunition. Unlike eyeball estimates or crude methods, this gauge lets you quantify headspace and bullet seating depth to within .001", giving you the hard data needed to dial in your loads and catch out-of-spec components before they hit the range or field.
Built for the meticulous reloader, the Instant Indicator handles the repetitive quality-control tasks that separate match-grade ammo from the rest. Whether you're sorting bullets and cases for consistency, verifying that your sizing die is doing its job right, or checking that every loaded round seats its bullet to the same depth, this tool turns what could be hours of guesswork into minutes of clear measurement. It's especially useful if you're loading for multiple rifles in the same caliber—you can quickly confirm how much headspace exists in fired brass and decide whether resizing is necessary.
The kit arrives with everything needed to get started: a bore diameter bushing, surface contactor, shoulder contactor, and headspace gauge, plus instructions. While this version is set up for 6.5x47 Lapua, the design is flexible enough to work with other cartridges that share the same shoulder angle, so you may be able to repurpose it down the road if your reloading interests expand.
