Works great for most everything, EXCEPT my Sig C3. Chamber must be undersized, as cartridges fitting the .45 case gauge won't necessarily fit the C3. Bit of a p****r finding out at the range. My other 1911 .45 will eat anything that fits the case gauge.
The problem with case Gage's, they don't have rifling, so are useless for checking proper oal. At some point you have to make sure the bullet fits. Then you can use the gage to check proper sizing & crimp, all they are good for.
