I started this new thread, an extension of the one where Unclenick suggested the purchase of "Go" and "No-go" primer pocket gauges.
My order just arrived but has no directions other than to go to their website but the tutorial doesn't work. I tried measuring some .270 pockets but I'm left confused.
There are 4 gauges: 0.1724, 0.175, 0.175, and 0.208. (I measured with a digital micrometer)
The first 3 fit into the primer pockets but the gauges are obviously too small; the pockets are much larger than the gauges. The last one fits into some of the cases but not others. I am under the impression this is a "No-Go" gauge, telling me if fits, the pocket is too large.
What am I missing?
Where do the first 3 come into play?
