Other reloaders never figure this out because they can't measure the variations that come from poor press technique. You need a good gage and you need to check every case sized. The following all can cause variations: 1. Speed of stroke 2. Number of strokes 3. Amount of lube 4. Uniform distribution of lube. 5. Dwell time at the top of the stroke 6. Work hardening or brass anneal condition. Thanks for the excellent demonstration of the effect of dwell time and multiple strokes on head to shoulder length.
David1200. Fulton Armory sells those gages. The Hornady Lock and Load Case Gage will do the same thing. The Hornady tool is not caliber specific. It will check dozens of different bottlenecked cases. It is much less expensive than the Mo's gage. The Mo's gage was originally made by Mo DeFina.

for every action there's a reaction.
Can't figure out my RCBS precision mic out to save my life. Your mic looks like it measures better
Hi - where can you buy the headspace gauge ? I have never seen one like that
Thanks
