My simple answer to the OP's question, assuming he's referring to checking headspace of the resized brass, is "no".

More reloaders do not use a gauge like the LNL than do (although I find that foolish).

Factory dies are manufactured so that they cannot "oversize" brass to any significance. In fact, I've found I usually have to set the press to cam over really hard just to get the shoulder bump required.

There would be one heck of a liability "possibility" hanging out there if factory dies were capable of excessive bump. Setting the dies per the manufacturer's recommendation should always be "safe"- though it will most likely not be optimal for brass life.
