I have been reading that a Wilson Case Length and Headspace Gauge (or similar) is helpful when sizing once fired brass from a different bolt action rifle in .30-06. It supposedly helps check my die adjustment when setting up the die to know how deeply my equipment is sizing and setting the case shoulder which impacts headspace. Additionally, my reading says that this gauge will also check my trim to overall case length.
I understand the value to use this gauge to setup the dies from the start. I also suppose this gauge would also be beneficial to check my prepped cases either for spot checking or case by case. Do lots of hand loaders of .30-06 use this gauge, and even though its only $35, is this a valuable tool or a gimmick?
