The Lyman Case Head Space Gauge for .380 ACP (Lyman part no. 7832337) gives handloaders a quick way to check whether a fired case falls within safe headspace limits before reloading it. Made by Lyman, this gauge works by simply inserting the case: if it exceeds the maximum or falls below the minimum allowable headspace, the gauge identifies it immediately. Any case found with excessive headspace should be destroyed right away rather than reloaded.
