[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 939062, member: 35183"] Because of the different shoulder angle between 243 Win vs Ackley, it is not recommended to use a regular 243 Win gauge since it would make a line contact and it would be easy to deform the chamber right at the start of the neck if the cam put too much load on the (hardened) gauge. If you use a "real" Ackley go gauge, the gauge makes a much broader contact with the shoulder so it would be a lot more difficult to cause any damage. And a properly made Ackley gauge will assure the user of having the right headspace, as intended, to shoot regular 243 Win brass. The reason I mentioned Mansonreamer.com, is that they generally have the Ackley gauges in stock, whereas with PTG and most of the other vendors, it is a custom order with a long lead time and higher price.
