Go/No-Go Primer Pocket Gauge?

[Ozzie]

Greetings. I am tired of doing the full cycle of brass prep only to discover that the primer pockets are too loose when I get to that last step before charging with powder. Generally it also wastes a good primer when a pocket is too loose as it rattles around in there but won't come out so it could be re-used. Does anybody make a Go/No-Go primer pocket gauge that would allow me to toss bad cases before going through the whole rigmarole of cleaning, sizing, trimming, chamfering and wasting a hard-to-find primer?

I just use a primer pocket uniformer to clean out pocket and normally can tell if it's too loose

Ballistic Tools makes them for large and small primer pockets.

I have a set but prefer using my Shars pin gauges. I have M1.061-.250 minus pins.

I use a std. gage pins for a go/no go. I use Nosler brass, and these don't take a lot of pressure to start growing.

I have a set of the go-no go gauges from Ballistic tools, they work fine so far. I also have the neck tension gauges that are basically a stepped pin to determine inner ID of the neck.
