I bought a new Browning T-Bolt rifle a few months ago. I just had to buy a telescopic sight for it. I intend to use it for gopher eradication when I move to Nevada.

I like a rifle to have good iron and glass sights, sling (usually detachable) and provision for quick reloading. The older the design, the slower the reload. If you look at hunting photos from 1900 give or take 10 years, the ammo belts were close to what the military of their country was using, form following function. Post WWI every American that wanted a rifle, could easily have one. But they often didn't know how to accessorize them. As our rifles went from single shot to lever to bolt to semi auto/ black rifles, many just used the same equipment they were issued in the service, and other free countries did much of the same. Ivan

Why do all those rounds look like they are standing proud of the surface? Is that gauge used differently than the individual ones?
I really want one of those, but I want to be sure I know how to use it. Thanks for showing it to us.

My own range; if that is an accessory.

The bullet sticks out past the end so when it's lying on a flat surface the case heads sit proud of the gauge, you have to pick it up and the rounds drop the rest of the way.

Hmmm, I just watched a video and the gauge (9mm) he was using didn't have the rounds sticking out the other side. He was able to put the gauge right on the table and all his rounds sat flush to the top.
Now, with my check gauge, OAL is another function it serves. The rounds aren't supposed to stick out of the end of mine. I guess this doesn't check for that?

Went to my doctor several years ago for severe pain I was having in my hands. I then suddenly realized that it was caused by loading my magazines! This has kept me pain free ever since!

A rubber mallet, it comes in handy with black powder guns.

No, it doesn't check OAL. Be pretty hard to make a gauge that did that since there are so many variations on that. If I load a short hollow point, it will go all the way down, typically I load a RN to 1.165. If I wanted the rounds to plunk all the way down when I put them in, I could set the gauge on top of a 100 round ammo box (and some of my friends do that), but when I set it on the table, I can do a quick OAL check by looking at the case heads making sure they are all setting proud the same amount. They sell 2 different models, a standard and a "Supermatch". The super is at SAAMI minimum and I get about a 10% fail on that gauge. If I'm shooting a major match, I'll throw the "fails" into a practice box after running them through a standard gauge and inspecting the cases for damage. 99% of the "fails" work fine but the 1% that fail the second gauge get broken down and the components get reused (except for the brass). To speed things up, I put the gauge in a plastic pan and pour the rounds over the top, then fill in the ones that didn't go in nose down. Sorry for the long post, any more questions, ask away.

Suppression comes with the territory.
