The RCBS 338 Lapua Magnum Precision Mic is a reloading measuring tool built for the 338 Lapua Magnum cartridge, reading chamber headspace and bullet seating depth to 0.001 inch. It measures from the datum point on the case shoulder to the base, giving SAAMI tolerance readings for the ammunition being loaded.

Operation takes only a few twists, so a reloader can check shoulder position and seating depth between loading steps. Those readings support safe, accurate loads and help extend brass life by showing when cases have moved beyond tolerance.
