I like to have maximum case length gauges for anything I load. I know I can take the barrel out of the firearm but I'd rather have the gauge. So; Nobody makes a case gauge for 9mm largo so I made one since I have a finish reamer for that caliber. It came out so well that I intend to make a couple of the ones I don't have yet.

Waste of money. A vernier calipre can be locked at any length you want. Instant Go/No-G0 gauge. However, you're not talking about case lengths.

I have found when loading some rounds with cast lead it helps to check them to see if they will chamber. I had a lot of trouble with .40 S&W and cast lead pills. It was pretty handy to check if they would chamber which many didn't until the crimp was just right.
