Overview
This case length gauge and shell holder is designed for trimming 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser brass to length and squaring the case mouth with a straightforward, repeatable setup. It works with the Cutter and Lock Stud or Zip Trim, making it a practical bench tool for reloaders who want a simple way to prepare cases within the specified 2.145 to 2.165 inch trim range. The hardened steel gauge and threaded shell holder are built for secure case retention during trimming. It is a focused accessory for routine case prep rather than a general-purpose reloading tool.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser cases, so it is not a universal trimming solution.
- Requires use with the Cutter and Lock Stud or Zip Trim; it is not a standalone case trimmer.
- The trim range is fixed at 2.145 to 2.165 inches, which leaves little flexibility outside that specification.
- This is a gauge and shell holder setup, so it addresses case-length trimming and mouth squaring rather than broader case-prep tasks.
