By using neck tension gauges, you can avoid excessive or insufficient neck tension, which can affect the accuracy and performance of your ammunition.

You simply insert the tool into the neck of your sized case and slide it until one of the diameters fits snugly. If it stops at the first notch (from bottom), you have 0.001 neck tension, 2nd notch 0.002, and up to 0.005. 

With its simple design and easy-to-read gauge, the Neck Tension Gauge is an essential tool for any reloader or shooter who demands the highest level of accuracy and consistency from their ammunition.

If you are serious about reloading and want to achieve the best possible performance from your ammunition, the Neck Tension Gauge is a must-have tool.

————————

Burstfire Neck Tension Gauges is a 5 Step Gauge, in 0.001 increments starting at .001 below bullet dimension. Example: .224 starts at .223 at the bottom, and up to .219. For precision loading, you typically look for 0.001 neck tension. So your case should all stop on the first notch of the gauge (from bottom). If it bottoms out, you likely don’t have enough neck tension. If you can’t insert it on top one (0.219), it means you have more than 0.005 and likely too much neck tension.

Purchased one of these with my annealer after speaking with Burstfire staff. A MUST HAVE in my opinion. I’ve been annealing for a few years on a different annealer. Upon checking my previously annealed brass, this tool made me realize how inconsistent my neck tensions were. Following burstfire’s instructions on proper annealing process, and then checked it with these gauges, my consistency improved right away! It wasn’t perfect but not their fault. I wasn’t separating by headstamps and my torch adjustment was not the same each time. After making these adjustments over the last month, my neck tension for each case is now SPOT ON!

All I can say is: OUTSTANDING!!! It sure makes determining neck tension a lot quicker. I measured each step on the gages and they were spot on. Thanks Burstfire!!
