Forster Neck Tenson Gage NTG-277

The Forster Neck Tension Gage NTG-277 is a precision reloading inspection tool designed for shooters and handloaders who demand consistency in ammunition preparation. This compact sorting device allows you to quickly screen and evaluate brass batches before the bullet seating operation, ensuring uniform neck tension across your cartridge lot.

The NTG-277 operates as a go/no-go gauge, measuring the radial clearance between a bullet and prepared case neck to quantify tension during seating. Its compact profile and lightweight design make it field-portable and easy to integrate into any reloading press setup. The gage provides objective data on neck condition, allowing you to segregate brass by tension category before running expensive components through the seating operation.

Reloaders working with precision rifle platforms—from .277-caliber match rounds to law enforcement patrol rifle ammunition—benefit most from this systematic quality-control approach. The Forster Neck Tension Gage NTG-277 integrates seamlessly into existing progressive and single-stage press workflows, requiring no adjustments to your current setup.
