Every gunsmith understands that the precise utilization of a chamber gauge is the most reliable method to verify the chamber length of a rifle. Accurate chamber measurement is critical in metallic and semi-metallic cartridge reloading and ballistic performance optimization.
The chamber space refers to the exact distance between the bolt face and the base of the cartridge when the action is fully closed. Excessive chamber space can lead to hazardous conditions, including increased headspace, which may compromise both firearm safety and shot-to-shot accuracy.
When a rifle bolt closes on a GO gauge, it confirms that the chamber will safely accept any ammunition manufactured within the SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) industry specifications. This ensures the cartridge fits snugly without excessive clearance, maintaining optimal pressure containment and consistent ballistic performance.
Conversely, if the bolt closes on a NOGO gauge, it indicates that the chamber may have excessive headspace beyond recommended tolerances. Such a condition can cause premature case expansion, increased wear on the bolt and barrel extension, and potential safety risks during firing. Most professional gunsmiths aim to maintain chamber dimensions between the GO and NOGO gauges to balance reliability and safety.
Finally, if the rifle bolt closes on a FIELD gauge, the chamber is dangerously close to or has already exceeded the maximum chamber dimensions specified by SAAMI. This situation poses significant safety hazards, including the risk of case rupture, gas leakage, and catastrophic firearm failure. Regular inspection with these calibrated gauges is essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of precision rifles used in hunting, tactical shooting, and competitive marksmanship.
