leewongfei Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Chamber of your barrel is very best !!! I agree with Steve, the barrel of the firearm is the best way to check. The dillon gauges are my favorite though, the lyman gauge i had kept trying to rust on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leewongfei Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) How does that help with oal You make a few dummy rounds and rack them through your gun to see if they feed. Additionally, you should have a set of calipers near by to validate the formulas you are using for your specific bullets. (recipes are for cookies, formulas are for ammo) Edited April 10, 2014 by leewongfei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob DuBois Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My Midway gauge set is tighter than the chamber in my pistols so if it fits that gauge it'll run in the guns. Don't have a gauge set the pistol chamber is the way to go. Have a new aftermarket barrel fitted or a new gun with a tight chamber always check the chamber first then the gauge.

e-mishka Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Get that new Hundo case gauge, its a HUGE time saver. I got it for both .40 and 9mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808win Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 What caliber(s)? Are you planning on gauging every round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBolt Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I am using Dillon case gages. I gage 100% of my ammo. So far out of 10k rounds that passed the gage all have ran flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsons1480 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Get that new Hundo case gauge, its a HUGE time saver. I got it for both .40 and 9mm +1 I love mine in 9mm. So much less of a pain in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttolliver Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yup, Wilson gauges worked just fine but did start to get a little surface rust. Started buying using Dillon after that discovery. Long loaded rounds stick out the bottom of both. It's just a matter of time before I pick up one of the new hundos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reichebrown Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I have dillon gauges for 9 and in 45. My 45 seems far less picky than the 9. With the 9 I have a 10-15% failure rate and the 45 is less than 4%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blujax01 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I have Dillon, Wilson and Lyman. My Lyman also tended to get surface rust until I hit it with a little case lube. The barrel "plunk test" is the definitive test but I am concerned about dropping one, dinging it up, losing it, etc. so I unless I have a particularly finicky gun/bullet combination, I use a case gauge every 100 rounds as another attribute check ( along with OAL and powder charge).

CZ85Combat Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 this is the one I use now. does 100 at a time http://www.benstoegerproshop.com/The-Hundo-100-Round-Case-Gauge-s/1827.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLeeCZ Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Dillons because they are made from stainless steel rather than carbon steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaeOne3345 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hundo gauge all day. The people who cringe at paying 100 bucks for 100 holes are the same who pay 15-20 bucks for one one hole, and take that much longer. Go figure. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstagn Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 For those of you that have used the Hundo case gauge. What length round AOL,(45acp & 9mm) will fit before it hits the bench that its laying on. Also any negative points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDA Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 For those of you that have used the Hundo case gauge. What length round AOL,(45acp & 9mm) will fit before it hits the bench that its laying on. Also any negative points? The gauge is far too shallow for OAL, they will stick out the back side (which can make extraction easier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
