The Lee 90163 45 Colt Case Length Gauge provides a precise, straightforward way to measure cases and maintain consistent case length during cartridge preparation. Designed for 45 Colt (LC) brass, this steel gauge helps identify cases that require trimming while supporting a uniform case mouth for reliable loading and consistent firearm performance. The included shell holder is designed to work with the gauge as an integrated case-preparation setup.
Use the Lee 90163 with a Lee Cutter and Lock Stud or Zip Trim system to trim cases efficiently and square the case mouth after trimming. The gauge helps establish the appropriate case length range of 1.265 to 1.285 inches, supporting repeatable preparation across a batch of brass. Its dedicated 45 Colt design makes it a practical choice for reloaders who want a simple, caliber-specific solution instead of relying on general-purpose measuring tools.
Built from durable steel with a silver finish, the Lee case length gauge is suited to regular use at the reloading bench. It accommodates one casing at a time and is intended for use with brass shells. Whether you are processing new-to-you brass, maintaining previously fired cases, or preparing components for consistent handloads, this Lee gauge and shell holder combination offers a dependable way to measure cases and support accurate trimming. The compact two-piece set is easy to store and keeps essential case-length equipment together between loading sessions.
