Redding Instant Indicator W/ Dial/260 Remington

The Redding Instant Indicator for 260 Remington is a precision headspace and case measuring tool that brings real control to handloading. If you're working with 260 Rem ammunition—whether you're a precision rifle shooter, long-range hunter, or dedicated reloader—this dial indicator gauge lets you catch uniformity issues and dimensional drift that affect accuracy. The Instant Indicator measures critical dimensions to within .001", giving you the repeatability that matters when you're chasing tight groups or maximizing case life.

This isn't a one-job tool. The Instant Indicator handles the full workflow: sort bullets and cases for uniformity, verify headspace after sizing, check shoulder bump consistency, monitor bullet seating depth, track trim length, and confirm loaded ammunition specs. You'll spot when cases need trimming before they fail, confirm your sizing die is set correctly, and catch dimensional variations that would otherwise compromise performance. For reloaders working with premium components or pushing accuracy limits, this kind of systematic measurement pays dividends.

The gauge comes complete with a dial indicator, bore diameter bushing, surface contactor, shoulder contactor, and headspace reference gauge, plus full instructions. Setup is straightforward, and once you understand the tool, measurements become routine—part of your quality-control rhythm rather than a chore.
