Description
100-Hole 45 ACP Hundo Chamber Checker Cartridge Case Gauge - by Shockbottle
If you are a serious shooter, you are probably a serious reloader. If you are serious about reloading, then you probably own a case gauge. If you have done enough case gauging, then you know that case gauging sucks.
If you understand how lame gauging ammo is, then this is the product for you. You will spend an absolute minimum time gauging your ammo and a maximum time doing whatever else you have on your plate. Quite simply, this is the highest capacity case gauge that you can buy. Your friends will be jealous, your wife will have renewed interest in you, and your children will start to show you respect. Well... maybe all that stuff wont happen, but you wont care because you can gauge ammo like a boss.
100 dollars may seem stout for a simple device like this, but if you compare the price of this to other gauges on the market, you will see that this is actually the best deal out there. Nobody else even comes close to the value offered by this unit.
The 100 Round Chamber Gauge is ideal for shooters who want to ensure better reliability of their ammo in chambering and extracting. The Chamber Gauge is machined from aircraft grade aluminum and using S.A.M.M.I. spec's. This Chamber Gauge is specifically designed to utilize a 100 round ammunition box as a "flip-tray", then can be flipped into an ammo box bullet down and ready for the range.

This case gauge is awesome!! Wish i had bought one years ago. The workmanship is first rate. Buy one, you’ll never regret it.
I load a lot of 9mm and this is THE best way for me to check my ammo for chamber fit. There are several different brand pistols that my reloads are shot through. I have found that if a round sets high in the case gauge it is still good in the tightest chamber of these pistols....as long as I can't get a fingernail in the extractor groove while the round is setting in the case gauge...I use it more as a chamber gauge. Also a great time to check primers...and...count by 100... I'm very glad I made this purchase! I like!
With powder coating my bullets, the length is tricky. Since I have been using this case gage I have had no issues with feeds and extractions. If you don’t have one than you need to order.
Shipped fast. I'm new to reloading and want to minimize my rework and ensure quality. Starting out, I guage all brass after sizing and discard the rejects so I'm not loading possibly non-chambering cases. I'm finding a significant number of oversized cases after sizing with a Hornady Ti sizer/deprimer. The tool is also good after build for to checking primer seating. I can check 500 in 30 min or so. I'll buy more as I go up from 9mm.
I just purchased my second Shockbottle, a 45 ACP, the first was the 9mm I have loaded over 10,000 rounds and checked every one. It is perfect to spot primers that are not seated or rounds that are minimally damaged, like a very small crack in the case. It is a great way to check 100 rounds at a time and then transfer them in to a case. If you are a serious reloader you need this.
This is a whole lot faster than using a single case gauge.
High quality construction highlights a good looking product. Very accurate in determining if a found will not fit the chamber.
I own these gauges for both 9MM and .45 ACP. I have found them to be extremely useful as a fast yet accurate final check prior to boxing my loads. If you do a lot of handgun reloading, these are worth considering.
Especially with 9mm range brass, it is impossible to make 100% reliable ammo without a gauge. You will get a few no-goes in every batch and that will mean a few failures into battery, which *will* cost you the match. I used a friend's gauge and immediately stopped having jams. So I just got this one, the same one he has. I have not had a stoppage of any kind in the last 4 matches, that is a record! Use one of these or lose..
