Frequently Asked Questions
How does a .38 Super case gauge work?
Simply drop a sized case or loaded round into the gauge. If it sits flush or below the rim, the case is within SAAMI specifications. If it sits proud (above the rim), the case is out of spec and should not be loaded or fired.
Why do IPSC Open Division shooters use .38 Super?
.38 Super is popular in IPSC Open Division because it can be loaded to make Major power factor with less pressure than 9mm Major loads, providing better brass life and more consistent performance through compensated pistols.
Can I use this case gauge for .38 Special or .357 Magnum?
No. This gauge is precision-machined specifically for .38 Super cases. .38 Special and .357 Magnum have different case dimensions and require their own gauges.
Is a case gauge necessary for competition reloading?
Essential. A single out-of-spec round can cause a malfunction that costs you a stage or an entire match. A case gauge provides instant, definitive quality control on every round — the cheapest insurance against match-day failures.
