Forster Reloading Brass Neck Tension Gage (NTG) Kit

[@bflagstad]

Thanks for the review. Ordering 6.5 and .30&8

You can get a decent import inside micrometer for less than half the price. Much more useful in general as well.

$200 for this is way too expensive. That’s equal to 16 gage pin, which usually sells for $4-5 each, that’s less than half of what this cost

It's a nice kit and I love Forster equipment - always excellent quality. In this case, they are a silly amount of money compared to gauge pins and, as you have shown, don't function as well as gauge pins.

Thanks for sharing. But I use Minus Gage Pins.

Great Video

Doughnut? Did you start turning necks ? If so that's a idea for a video. Turned a d not turned precision. Great video!

I bought mine for .264. New to reloading, so I was nervous to not be able to check my necks.

[@Whocaresnoone69]

Tension on a thin neck vs a thick neck is different at the same id. So does it find tension? Or just what size it is? Or am I looking at this the wrong way?

[@willxu08]

What you discussing is kind of another topic. More of regarding what is neck tension or how to measure it. This gage pin measure way is assuming the neck tension is the difference between loaded cartridge neck diameter minus empty case neck diameter.

[@SigmaBallistics]

no you are correct, but unless you had an amp press or some other force gauge there is no other way you could quantify neck tension besides documenting the interference fit

[@bob1764]

@@SigmaBallistics The AMP press doesn't tell us about neck tension; it reveals friction to bullet seating. There is, unfortunately, no easy way to measure neck tension. These gauges measure internal diameter of necks, which may be useful in certain circumstances.

[@SigmaBallistics]

@@bob1764 i agree, but the amp is the closest thing we have to being able to measure what we consider to be neck tension

[@W0GUN]

So it's like go - no go gauges

What’s a donut?

[@charlesirby9222]

Yeah...that is my question also?
