Default wilson gages

The CZ 527 has a very "tight" chamber {223} the honrnady factory loads very snug indeed.Doing some reloads,its a no go.I was looking for a wilson gage,to first off see if i need the chamber polished.Locally would be good.

You wont polish it to proper headspace just stick to reloading and set your sizer up properly or take it to a smith to get it reamed properly if need be.
If you want gauges give Gary a call at (250) 845-4196 bighorn sales

I'm not sure of this helps you coyoteman, but when I suspect chamber issues, I make a chamber cast using Cerrosafe. It's very easy and takes mere minutes. Of course, you have to wait an hour after removing the cast to get accurate readings. And I use head space gages to check that end of it. I hope this helps.
