220 Swift Go NoGo Gauges

[scope eye]

Hi what other caliber gauges can you use for the 220 Swift, IE: 308-7-08-260-243 0R 30-06-270-25-06 ect all use the same "family" of gauges, where does the 220 Swift fit in or is it a red headed stepchild.

I've only ever seen it as a solo gauge, not a family of cartridges on one gauge like those others you mentioned.
It's based on a 6mm Lee Navy case so perhaps one of them if you can find it?

Unique as far as I know. The 6mm Lee Navy will not work for the Swift by the way.

Here is a link to Forsters Headspace Gauge interchangeability chart.

The 220 swift is unique.

Thanks BRT gotta love this forum, I hate buying gauges but if they are muti calibers it takes the sting out, I have the belted and they 06's as well as they 08's that's a lot of calibers in just those three sets to absorb the cost per barrel swap, on they other hand I used my 223 and my 22-250 each once they are unique and now they collect dust, I think I am seasoned enough in barrel swapping that I will try the scotch tape route, and if it's a go great and if it's a no go well there's goes 50 bucks I won't be spending on brass. :'(

Well if your .223 gauge ever gets tired of gathering dust I would be happy to help you arrange a new local for it to reside in.
