The Forster 22-250 Remington Field Gauge (brand part no. HG2225F) is a precision steel headspace gauge built to check whether a 22-250 Remington chamber has worn past a safe service limit on a rifle already in use. Forster Products machines it to a fixed 1.584-inch length that represents the maximum acceptable headspace, a step beyond the tighter go/no-go range used for new-build inspection. If the bolt closes on this gauge, the chamber has opened up enough to warrant a closer look before more high-velocity rounds go downrange. It’s a natural pairing with the rest of our gunsmithing tools and gunsmith supplies for anyone servicing varmint rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why check field headspace on a high-velocity cartridge like 22-250? Faster cartridges put more stress on the chamber and brass over time, making periodic wear checks a sensible precaution on a rifle with significant round count.

What should I do if the bolt closes on this gauge? Have the rifle inspected by a qualified gunsmith before continuing to fire it.
