WILSON PISTOL MAX CASE GAGES Reviews & Ratings

L.E. WILSON PISTOL MAX CASE GAGES

The most important use of a cartridge case gage is for setting up 7⁄8"-14 press type full length resizing dies. A common error in reloading is to oversize your brass. Headspace of fired cases can quickly and accurately be measured using this tool and a caliper.

Extremely Tight
After thoroughly cleaning the the heavy coating of oil, the gauge is extremely tight. Fully resized rounds that will cycle perfectly through my Walter GSP .32 are about 1 in 5 too tight to fall into the gauge. Its a waste of time trying to gauge a batch of ammunition. I will look for a Dillion gauge.
