Datum Dial Ammunition Measurement System
Measures relative distances between selected points on cases, bullets, and cartridges.
Kit Comes With DATUM DIAL, BODY w/Case Dial ass, B/C Dial #1 #2 Storage Box
Product Features:
Covers multiple calibers: competitive products can require the purchase of a separate kit for each caliber needed
Consists of only four components: provides the same caliber coverage as other products which have many more components
Easily interchangeable dials: case and bullet/cartridge dials provide quick measurement of different calibers
Measurement is exact variation: no need to subtract body plus bushing/ insert length from each measurement
Durable, plastic storage box: room for extra setup, keeps all components together and protected
Provides the data you need to refine your case sizing and bullet seating operations
Better accuracy because your ammunition’s headspace is tailored to your firearms’ chamber
Safer shooting because excessive headspace, which may lead to dangerous case separation, can be avoided
Quick sorting of batches of cases, bullets and cartridges to effectively remove variation to provide relative consistency
More possible reloads because of reduced work hardening of brass
Cases
Using the average relative measurement taken from several cases that have been fire-formed from the same firearm, you can then adjust your sizing die to produce cartridges with a headspace tailored to your firearm’s chamber.
Bullets and Cartridges
You can also adjust your seater die to achieve the optimum distance from the bullet ogive to the lands of the rifle. Obtaining the best bullet seating depth for a specific bullet used in a specific firearm significantly improves the accuracy of your loaded rounds.
Easy-to-use and versatile tool for shooting accuracy
The core components of the Datum Dial Ammunition Measurement System are a body and three interchangeable dials. Purchase only the components you need for your specific relaoding needs.

- Set up your reloading bench where it (and stored components) will not be exposed to heat, sparks or flame.
- Establish a comfortable loading procedure and don't vary it.
- Keep your reloading bench, equipment and area clean and uncluttered. Label components and reloads for safe, easy identification. Never use powder from an unlabelled tin.
- Understand what you are doing and why it must be done in a specific way.
- Follow loading recommendations exactly. Don't substitute components for those listed in metallic data without reducing the load and working back up.
- Never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or Pyrodex because smokeless powder is much more powerful than black powder. Never mix two powders together.
- Wear safety glasses.
- Stay alert when reloading. Don't reload when distracted, disoriented or tired.
- Don't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs while reloading or while in your reloading area.
- Keep everything out of reach of small children.
