Terrible, absolutely terrible. The threads in this girl's horny overalls appear to have snapped too...

Make one :)
I can send you the drawings if you wish, I use M8x0,75mm thread on mine and use 316 stainless ends so they are super robust.

Yes please ovenpaa. I was going to try and make or repair the Hornady one until I tried to find a 5/16x36 TPI UNS die nut. No body stocks a die nut in this size.Make one :)

Re: Arggh. I broke my hornady overall lentgh gauge
I have emailed you the drawing, this is a picture of an early version of the finished item, everything is 316 stainless other than the central tube and sometimes the handle on the end.

£27.95 on clearance from opticswarehouse. But I do like Ovenpaas shiny ones.Alpha1 wrote:I snapped the threaded end of my Hornady overall length gauge. Have you seen the price of new ones.
Re: Arggh. I broke my hornady overall lentgh gauge
GBP27.95 is a very good price.
Re: Arggh. I broke my hornady overall lentgh gauge
How much are yours David?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
