I have ventured out of bottle neck and into straitwalled cases-9mm, 44mag, 45-70 and 38spl. I was wondering do you guys use a gauge for strait walled cartridges or just plunk them? I have loaded for my 44mag and being a single shot if the case fell in and out of the chamber freely i called it good and the same with 9mm.
Is 38spl okay to plunk in the cylinder and if it free falls I'm okay or should i use a gauge and the same for 45-70 which is also a single shot.
