CPD7119 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm looking to get a hundo cage gauge from ben stoeger pro shop. I saw there are two models: one that is extra large and long and one that is regular sized. The one listed as extra long says its good for lead and moly coated bullets. I am planning on using moly coated bullets but I'm not loading them long. Anyone use the regular model and use moly coated bullets? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I used a .40 long with hi tek coated bullets and had a lot screwing around pushing rounds down into the gauge. I think it was inconsistent coating thickness. I switched to the .40 XL and long and have no more issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthshine402 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have the .40L and it is too tight to really accept the .401 coated bullets. I ordered a case of .400 and they all drop in fine, a few need a little push to check, but not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPD7119 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'm running sns casting bullets, maybe I'll just try calling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhollis51 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The Hundo is the best thing invented. I can case gauge and box up 500 rounds in less than 10 minutes. I use the XL with coated bullets and they work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leas327 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I use the regular one with coated bullets. They won't drop down completely flush when you drop them in. They will sit up almost the thickness of the rim. They will go flush if you push on them. A bulged case will stick up a quarter inch. If you have any suspect cases you can cull them and drop them rim first to see if it is a bad rim or a fat bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erttactics Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Do you guys feel it's that much faster case gauging a hundred at a time? Just curious if it's worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Do you guys feel it's that much faster case gauging a hundred at a time? Just curious if it's worth the money. I had the same question when I was considering buying one, I've been using mine for about a year and a half now and wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have it. To me it's worth every penny.

Erttactics Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Awesome, thanks for the reply. Think I'm going to give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallz Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I use my regular to cg acme hitec's at 1.135 with no issues. I bought a 9mm and .40 at the same time,... Was hard to justify,......untill I used them for the first 100 rounds. Thats all it took to appriciate the investment! It is also great way and time to check for high primers as well!!

I was gauging individually with a Dillon gauge, throwing those that passed in a bin, then boxing them up. Now, I can place 100 in the gauge and box directly from there. Much more efficient. Saves a bunch of time.....as least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
