What are the exact measurement range and graduations of the Redding 17999 Dial Indicator?

The Redding 17999 Dial Indicator features a total measurement range of 0 to 1.0 inch with precise 0.001 inch graduations. It is equipped with a standard mechanical dial face and a rotating bezel that allows for easy zero-resetting during your reloading diagnostics.

Does this mechanical dial indicator require any electrical regulatory approvals for use in Australia?

No electrical regulatory approvals are required. Because the Redding 17999 is a purely mechanical analogue instrument, it requires no mains power, batteries, or electrical charging, meaning SAA or RCM electrical compliance and Australian plug configurations are entirely inapplicable for this item.

Reloading Dial Indicator - Redding 17999

Q: What equipment is the Redding 17999 designed to be compatible with?

This dial indicator is specifically designed to fit and interface with Redding reloading precision instruments, including Redding Instant Indicator head space and bullet seating depth comparator die bodies. It can be used to convert a 'w/o indicator' 17XXX model to a dial-equipped setup or serve as a direct replacement for a damaged dial.

Q: Is the Redding 17999 suitable for extreme precision work like benchrest shooting?

The Redding 17999 provides 0.001 inch resolution, which is ideal for standard case headspace and bullet seating uniformity checks. However, benchrest shooters requiring tighter precision down to 0.0001 or 0.0005 inches for run-out and thickness variations will need a high-resolution test indicator or digital micrometer instead.

The Redding Dial Indicator (MPN 17999) is a purely mechanical analogue instrument designed for precision reloading diagnostics and dimensional measurement. Manufactured in the USA, it provides 0.0" to 1.0" of total plunger travel with clear 0.001" dial face graduations. It directly interfaces with Redding reloading precision instruments, including Redding Instant Indicator Headspace and Bullet Seating Depth Comparator die bodies and compatible runout measurement fixtures, enabling handloaders to precisely compare case shoulder bump, verify seating depth from the bullet ogive, and configure full-length sizing dies.

Key Features
