[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1534922, member: 12995"] This is true for single-shots and bolt-actions. But for AR's and semi-autos I recommend getting a high-quality case gauge to ensure you're in spec. I also recommend small-base dies for AR's and AK's, especially if you're using range pickup brass, you don't know what kind of chamber that stuff has been in. I used to process brass and do Q&A for loaded ammo at a machinegun range, and we would have feeding and cycling issues even with NATO spec chambers if they would not drop in the case gauges without resistance. So, if loading for any semi-auto, I highly recommend getting case gauges and small-base dies. [/QUOTE]
