Well go stick a case upside down in your Dillon gauge, if it drops in as far as pictured in my post then you are misinformed.

On top of this you can not check your fired case length with Wilson/Dillon type case gauges with larger diameter military chambers. This is why the Hornady case gauge is better for measuring fired cases to get proper shoulder bump.
