I am looking for Pin Gauges that have one end ground flat on two sides more like a thick blade. What are they called and where can I order them. I can find normal pin gauges but I want to test a hole to see if it is oval.

On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.

That's what they make dial bore gauges for. A dial bore gauge will measure the amount of eccentricity, not just confirm the existence of it. A snap gauge will confirm whether a hole is round or egged simply by the inconsistent resistance of turning it once set.
If you can see light through the hole, a standard pin gage will let you observe light passing by the gage pin where the hole is larger. It will also wiggle more in one direction than another, but these methods won't measure the amount of eccentricity.
Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

This is for a .3 ish hole and I don't want to trust my eyesight. I am looking to make a go no go gauge setup.
