So who all uses the Primer Pocket GO no GO Gauges?
I seen some talk about them and had a few extra dollars so I bought a set for small primer and a set for large primers.
What are you checking with these.
Are they for checking crimped primer pockets.

How do you use them?

I just looked on YouTube and there are quite a few videos, too tired to watch them right now. Good luck

You can use them to check if your primer pocket swager is set too deeply. Personally I don't bother.

Checking to see whether a pocket needs to be swaged, and also whether I've effed it up during the swaging process. More: viewtopic.php?f=74&t=113466.

Same here, don't see the point.

If there's a crimp, I ream it. If the primer pocket is excessively dirty, sure, I clean it.

If that primer pocket is loose as a goose when I prime that case, then it gets marked as "final loading", gonna get tossed after this firing.

Too loose and I might remove the primer and toss the case anyway.

But using a gauge for each one seems it would add unnecessary extra steps to case prep.
