That is why the Dillon gauges cost twice as much as this one. Those are machined from stainless **Q: Do you have a case gauge for.30-06 Springfield** A: Almost every manufacturer has 30-06 case gauge. Receiver also will work. **Q: Will this work with Checking .356 9mm?** A: No. This gauge only measures 9 mm Luger (Parabellum) brass case length. It is incorrect for the .380 ACP (9mm Kurtz) the 357 SIG and the 9x20 browning long. All of which use the .356 inch diameter 9 mm bullet but have different dimensions and shape. **Q: Will this check loaded ammo for proper chamber fitment?** A: No, this tool is designed to only check sized cases for chamber diameter(s) and length to saami specs. If you want to check the overall loaded cartridge length, you will have to reference online specs provided by various bullet manufacturers or purchase printed reference books by Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, etc. and use either a dial or digital caliper to measure the oal length of the loaded ammo. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hornady Lock-N-Load Cartridge Gauge 6MM Creedmoor (.243) 380720 - Reloading Supplies to Help Check Cases & Ammo Specifications-Caliber Specific, Cylindrical Precision Steel Gauges Fit SAAMI Tolerances - Hornady Lock-N-Load Cartridge Gauge 6.5 Creedmoor, 380710 -Reloading Supplies to Help Check Cases & Ammo Specifications-Caliber Specific, Cylindrical Precision Steel Gauges Cut to Fit SAAMI Tolerances - Hornady Lock-N-Load Cartridge Gauge 6MM ARC (.243), 380719 - Reloading Supplies to Help Check Cases & Ammo Specifications-Caliber Specific, Cylindrical Precision Steel Gauges Fit SAAMI Tolerances --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/412646792-lock-n-load-cartridge-gauge-6mm-creedmoor-243-380720-reloading](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/412646792-lock-n-load-cartridge-gauge-6mm-creedmoor-243-380720-reloading) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
