What kind of case gage are you using? I find that the Wilson gage works great for me. FWIW, bottleneck case gages aren't "chamber-proofing" case gages, as are straightwall handgun case gages. The Wilson case gage simply tells you if you've bumped the shoulder correctly for proper headspacing and whether your trim length is o.k.
