For those that use once fired military and swage

Came across this wonderful little tool some time ago. Extremely handy when setting up my Dillon swaging tool, especially when switching from one size to another. Thought I'd share.

Neat.

I generally use my primer pocket uniformers. If it fits, then I can seat a primer.

I find gauges remarkably handy, I have all the micrometers ect., but for speed nothing like a 'Go/NoGo' gauge.

Case gauge will get dies set up in a snap,
Tell you if its time to trim,
Primer gauge saves time on what you are doing.

It's probably a good idea to have a primer gauge when you cut/uniform primer pockets,
How else will you keep track of adjustment & wear on the cutting tool?

When I'm running cases in volume, I pretty much have the gauges glued to my left hand, constant QC checks.

I got my primmer pocket gauge from Sinclair and like it a lot. It does make setting up the Super Swage easer. Plus being able to check that the pockets are safe for setting primers, knowing that the primers will not fall out in my gun.

Really not needed........if my swage cutter tool fits then cutting aint needed.

Unless your pocket is oversized/stretched, your tool will still fit.
