Wheeler headspace gauges, any comment?

Anyone have any experience with Wheeler headspace gauges? .308WIN in particular. Midweat has them at $13.95 regular price while Forster at $14.95 sale price. I like Wheeler for the fact that no need to remove extractor, but not familiar with the brand at all. Or I better stay with Forster. Any feedback will be appreciated.

When it comes to headspace gauges and reamers you might want to check out Manson. They are a great company with top shelf products; I sure like doing business with them.

headspace guages

Dear Sir:
I'm sure that all headspace guages made in quality plants are fine!
I must confeee though I use them rarely! I use a factory Federal Premium cartridges to headspace because I want to feel no play and some resistance when I chamber a round.
Yea! I know I've opeaned a hornets nest on that one but I just like to let my stupidity show to all!
