6mm creedmoor gauges

[trickyric]

I can't seem to find a go/no go gauge for 6mm creedmoor.
Can a 6.5 cm gauge be used instead?

I've heard they can, but I'd like confirmation too.

OK, first off, realize that I am no more authority than you on this.
Now, my answer is I think the 6.5CM gauges will work for 6CM.
I tried my PTG GO/NO-GO gauges marked 6 Creedmoor in two rifles chambered in 6.5CM and the results were the same; bolt closed on "go" and not on "no-go".
I would call PTG, Clymer or JGS to verify. They would likely have some you could purchase.

I have this question now. I didn't want to start a new post and a quick search popped this up.

Any news? I got 65CM go and no go, Im curious if I need to buy 6mm Creed no and no go?

thanks

I will confirm @redx post, I have 6.5 gauges that I use on 6.5, 6, and .22 Creedmoor regularly

Confirm as well. Have used 6.5 gauges in both. Only diff between the two is the neck diameter.

Gauges are interchangeable on many cartridges. All the Creedmoor family cartridges use the "parent" case gauge, 22,6mm,25 & 6.5 CM all use the same gauge. .308 gauges work on, .243 Win, 260 Rem, 7mm-08 Rem. and .338 Federal. 30-06 gauges work on 25-06 Rem, 6.5-06 Rem, 270 Win, and 35 Whelen etc. Same for the Winchester Short Magnum family, Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum family and so on.
Headspace gauge interchangeability is common and gauges are commonly labeled with the "parent" cartridge, although some gauges may have multiple cartridges marked on the gauge.
