Thanks poline for measuring. That tells me buying another case length gauge isn't going to help much. I load several other calibers all with the Lee case length gauges and have not run into this before, and that's why I thought a may have bought an out of spec. case length gauge.

Ozzieman, I usually resize and trim my new brass before my initial loading. It may not be necessary, but I like to start off a new batch as uniform as possible. After I couldn't get the gauge in the brass, I loaded them up anyway and everything seemed to work out fine. Thanks for the help guys.
