I have done every one of thoes steps with hand tools. I think that the only two need to be done for silhouette shooting. The necks should be trimmed to proper length and then outside turned to the proper diameter. Both can be done with a forrester. You can hook a small drill to the trimmer if you don't want to turn it by hand.
As for your question, no I don't know where you can get them but I would think any good machine shop could make the length guages for you.

What is the recommended case length for the 6.5 x 47 Lapua? There is so little info out there on this new round. I am almost ready to begin loading up a few for my new rifle Evelio built me.

Not a whole lot of data out there. There was one using a google search that had the overall case length at 1.839. The last batch I had out of the box measured 1.843.

Thanks Jim. I will look around a little more and see what I can find out. Evelio could probably shed some more light on this as he reamed the chamber. I will post what I find out.
