Thread size for seating depth tool?

[sobrbiker883]

Does anyone know the thread size for the now Hornady Chamber-All tool (formerly the Stoney Point) for measuring seating depth to the lands?
I want to make a modified 7-08 case but don't know what size tap I'd need......

Yes. 5/16 36 NC. You need to go to a website on a specialized store to get the 36 NC. Most hardware and Lowe's and Home Depot, and even Sears dont' carry them. If you find one locally let me know. Have fun.

I don't believe 36 tpi is anywhere close to NC for 5/16".
