Redding Instant Indicator W/ Dial/6Mm Ppc
The Redding Instant Indicator for 6mm PPC is a precision headspace and bullet seating depth gauge built for serious handloaders who demand consistency. This dial indicator tool lets you measure critical dimensions to within .001", giving you the repeatability and uniformity that separates quality handloads from merely functional ones. Whether you're optimizing a new load, sorting components, or troubleshooting inconsistencies, the Instant Indicator cuts the guesswork out of the reloading process.
Handloading requires attention to detail—and the Instant Indicator enforces it. Use it to compare fired cases across multiple rifles, verify that sized cases are uniform, check your sizing die setup, inspect shoulder bump consistency, and confirm bullet seating depth from round to round. You can also sort bullets and loaded ammunition for uniformity, track trim lengths, and determine when brass needs attention. It's the kind of tool that reveals why some loads shoot tight groups and others don't.
The package comes complete with a dial indicator, bore diameter bushing, surface contactor, shoulder contactor, and headspace gauge—everything you need to start measuring. The straightforward design means no learning curve; if you can read a dial gauge, you can use this tool effectively from the first session at the bench.
