The Frankford Arsenal Cartridge Overall Length Gauge is a precision measuring tool for ammunition reloaders, used to determine the optimal cartridge overall length (COL) for a given firearm and load. It works with a universal caliber range, so the same gauge serves the different cartridges a reloader already loads rather than being tied to one chambering.
Finding the correct COL is what lets a handloader seat bullets to the right depth for their specific rifle, which is the step that supports improved accuracy and performance from the finished rounds. It is a bench tool aimed at serious reloaders and shooters who tune their own ammunition.
