Just Thinkin Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 hey all, Which 40 case gage has the tightest tolerance? In other words, if it goes in this it will chamber in anything! Where would a guy buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I don't know the exact tolerances but I've never had an issue with my Dillon. When the title said "Witch", I thought maybe you ran into one of my ex's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Thinkin Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Sorry my poor spelling brought up bad memory's. If it's any consolation, you don't belong to an exclusive club LOL ! I'm fortunate, I only have two X's. The first and the LAST !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have a tight chamber in my SV, and some that would fit the Dillon would not fit the chamber, so I just went to chamber checking. Just this week I got the EGW gauge, and it seems a little tighter, but not testing done yet. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Thinkin Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Interesting. Thought about purchasing a 40 chamber reamer. Ream my barrels and whatever gage I buy. This should be "fool" proof and work with whatever gun I or my kid have now or will use in the future. Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Manley Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) I *think* Wilson gauges are cut to minimum SAAMI cartridge specs (smaller) and Dillon's are cut to mimum SAAMI chamber specs (larger). My guns don't have tight chambers and if they pass my Dillon gauge, they're fine in the guns. The new EGW gauges are cut with the same reamers used on their barrel chambers so it's a guess where they fall. Edited March 6, 2009 by D.

Mark K Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think when having a new gun built, it would be wise to ask the gunsmith to make you a gauge with the same reamers. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was wondering if you put them in the gauge pointy hat first But then I am the last one to say anything about spelling The real answer is as above...get gauge from gunsmith Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripod Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I bought a set of Midway gages 8 years ago. Has 45acp, 9mm, 10mm, 40 S&W, 38 super, 380 acp. Don't know if they have still have the same set or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I like my Dillon and will use it for a long time. Much nicer than the Midway ones. Ooooh...something else I can get rid of in the garage! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 When I have a rifle built I always have them make me a case guage with the reamer they used on the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHARLES D Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have the same problem as Mark K. I started using an EGW resizer die and case gauge. Haven't had a problem when using the EGW case gauge to check ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I use the barrel from the bullets are intended. Case gauges vary from your chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
