[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1145559, member: 28965"] My Redding neck thickness gauge tells me more about my cases than anything else. Below a Remington .223 case with .004 neck thickness variation and this was average for these cases. Some of these .223 cases had as much as .008 thickness variations. What I like about this gauge is just one twist/rotation of the case tells me a great deal about its quality. Cases like these will expand more on the thin side and warp when fired. I full length resize these type cases and use them for practice in my AR15 carbine.

The Redding gauge is all I need and I have no need for more expensive gauges that measure to .0001. [/QUOTE]
