I like having it in my tool kit for straight-wall pistol cases with cast bullets. I don't use it very often.

The one I bought for .45 Colt was a waste of money because I've never needed it -- .45 Colts have loose chambers, and an modestly-oversize bullet won't bulge the case enough to cause problems (like it will in .357, .38 Special, and .41 Mag.)
