Oh Frabulous Day! Lee Case Length Gauge 8X56R

Somebody in another forum turned me on to this. Lee does not list this on their website so I don't know how Midway has them listed.

Perfect if you have the Lee cutter and lock stud.

Way cool! I was just about to order a "custom" 8x56R trimmer from Lee for $19. I kept wondering why they make dies for it but no trimmer. Thanks for the info!

Have no idea why Midway has them, but Lee doesn't even list they make them on their website.

I ordered one yesterday. I hope I get what I am supposed to get. Midway lists Lee item # 90040 as this case length guage, while Graf & Sons lists Lee item # 90040 as a 10mm Powder Through Expanding Die. We'll see in a couple of days.

Well, it came today and was indeed an 8x56R case length guage. This purchase saved me $15 over a LEE "custom" piece. The only thing I can think of is that Midway commissioned the manufacture of a quantity of these for a lower price. In any event, thanks Gandog!
