HalRex Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I've got an EGW 7-round gauge for my 9mm rounds but am thinking about grabbing one of the Hundo 100-round gauges. Worth it? I've noted in some reviews that it's not as "tight" as the EGW which would be fine as both my CO and Open 9mms cycle fine with rounds that stick a bit in the EGW. Sure like the idea of being able to just flip over the Hundo and dump 100 right into the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right up there with Mr Bulletfeeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalRex Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Great! I just ordered a blem off their site for $90 including tax and shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) My longer 40 Limited loads wouldn’t gauge in my LE Wilson so I got the hundo xl. $100 at Ben Stoeger pro shop Love it. Saves time and transfers right into a Dillon ammo box. Worth the coin to me. Edited May 1, 2018 by Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesedTech Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 After thousands of rounds using my barrel I finally got fed up and spent the money for a Hundo. Then I bought another and now I have one for 9mm and 40 sw, the xl. Sure speeds up up the whole process and makes it easier to visually see the rejects.

Beef15 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Great tool, seems pretty tight to me. Percent rejected increases pretty quick with bullet diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketRyan Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 All the rounds I've run through my hundo have loaded and fired perfectly. If it is a little looser than other gauges, it can't be by much. Definitely one of the better purchases you can make in your shooting career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty4087 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Agree as a great investment and rounds that fail my Shockbottle still pass the Lyman, FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenZ Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 My 9x19 gauge anodized black is tight but if it fits in the gauge it will fit in the chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 If you are going to take the time to gauge, might as well use a Hundo because you can flip it right into the ammo box. +1 on the Shockbottle website. They sell blems for $69.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick85 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Best investment I've made, aside from my 650. It's tighter than a Dillon case gauge on both 45 and 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to go with that... I bought mine directly from ShockBottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullett Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The things you learn about on the forum. I've never heard of this company before. I've been using my single Lyman case gauge on each round I load for a few years now. I'm going to buy one of the blemished gauges once they pop up. Unfortunately they're sold out of those on their site at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieDoc Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Wanted to get one of these for some time but either sources wouldn't ship internationally or the postage almost doubled the cost. Found a seller on eBay that is based in Slovenia that makes an anodised match grade gauge complete with a flipper lid that shipped DownUnder for a fraction of the cost of US postage. Very pleased with the unit so would recommend it especially for anybody not based in USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a mrbulletfeeder has been a better addition to the reloading process on my 650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaylanGivens Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 What is a flipper lid? I have one of ShockBottle's flip trays... It's a polymer tray that makes it easier to flip from the Shockbottle chamber checker to the ammo box... Very handy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His flip cover is a heavy machined anodised aluminium unit that is included with the gauge as standard. He doesn't appear to have 40 cal but I'm assume he is a small operation that would tool up if there was enough interest, say a group buy. When I ordered my gauge I found communication with him was easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
