[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2136298, member: 116181"] Sheridan Engineering - available in slotted for some rounds, but limited overall caliber availability. My personal favorite if they have a slotted option for the round I'm loading. Does SAAMI min body sizing spec, case length/trim, and go/no-go headspace: [URL unfurl="true"]https://sheridanengineering.com/product-category/ammunition-gauges/[/URL] LE Wilson - case length/trim, go/no-go headspace. Reamed large in the body for non-FL sizing/non-SAAMI body diameter for use with unsized cases. Can add the micrometer for headspace, and this performs the same function as the Hornady Headspace bushing comparator set. [URL unfurl="true"]https://lewilson.com/case-gage[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://lewilson.com/case-gage-depth-micrometer[/URL] I use the Sheridan gauge, LE Wilson with Mic, and the Hornady comparators regularly. Hornady - SAAMI body diameter, go/no-go headspace. Don't think it does case length/trim, I can check later. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hornady.com/reloading/precision-measuring/precision-tools-and-gauges/[/URL] Lyman - don't have any so I'm not entirely sure what they do and don't do, but seems to do case length/trim, and go/no-go headspace. The single round checker does SAAMI minimum body dimensions.
