Frequently Asked Questions
How does a .40 cal 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.
Can I use this .40 cal case gauge for 10mm Auto?
No. While .40 S&W and 10mm Auto share the same bullet diameter, 10mm Auto has a longer case. This gauge is machined specifically for .40 S&W (10x22mm) case dimensions.
Why is the .40 cal case gauge important for Limited division?
.40 S&W is a popular calibre in USPSA Limited and IPSC Standard because it can make Major power factor. A case gauge is a quick check that each round will chamber and feed.
Is a case gauge necessary if my sizing die is set correctly?
Yes. A sizing die handles most cases, but brass varies — different headstamps, case life, and annealing history all affect dimensions. A case gauge catches the rounds that slip through even a properly set die.
