Using a rim gage to "upgrade" bulk ammo I think is nearly fruitless. If they're shipping badly upset cases, there's gonna be a lot of other, more important quality factors that will also have high variance.
The second-worst of these is bullet weight.
Five years or so ago I weighed many hundreds of rounds of bulk ammo to see what I could do about improving the accuracy of a plain-Ed Ruger 10-22. Tedious goes without saying.
The worst weight variance was Thunderduds, (no surprise), but what proved interesting with them was that the weight distribution had multiple peaks. I pulled a lot of bullets and came to the conclusion that they had multiple swaging machines in operation which weren't all adjusted alike, and they were mixing them all together at some point before the assembly process. Bullet weight variance seemed to be about 80-90% of the cartridge weight variance.
Did sorting to minimize weight variance help? Some.
What helped most was swaging all the bullets up to a common .2250 diameter. Paco Kelly makes a tool, and there is another by someone named Waltz. I made my own, which is much like the Waltz, although I hadn't seen his at the time. The process also straightens the cartridge, which ought to have some effect.
Older 10-22s are well known to have cavernous chambers. With weight sorting and swaging, I cut the groups from this one from 5 MOA down to 2-3 MOA, using ammo selected for +/- 0.1 grain weight variance AND swaged.
I ran the same process with several other kinds of ammo. Federal Auto Match, CCI Standard Velocity, Federal 711, CCI MiniMags, my notes say. All were better than Thunderduds, both before and after, but none were magical. Had I kept the 10-22, my go-to ammo would have been the MiniMags. They came in at just under 2 MOA after treatment.
So many factors we can do nothing about: Powder charge variance, primer fill, brass temper, crimp consistency, roundness and runout, and on and on. There can never be a magic sorting process that will yield a useful subset of high grade ammo from the run-of-the-bog bulk stuff. At best, to get a batch of Auto Match with weight variance +/- 0.1 grain, I culled over half of each box.
