I am going to buy a small primer pocket go no gauge to check 223 range brass and see only two options available to purchase. Ballistic tools and Burstfire. Is one brand better than the other?
thanks

Better might be a couple gauge pins in a holder.
I have Ballistic Tools, small primer pocket, Go-No-Go gauge. I use it for 9mm brass. This tool works good for me.
I have the Ballistic Tools GNG gauges (lg & sm). Mostly using the small GNG on range pick up 223. Helps me not squish a primers on a crimped pockets.
Lyman primer pocket tools are inexpensive and serve the same go/no go purpose. If they don't go in the pocket the primer won't go in the pocket.

I use the ballistic never tried the burstfire . I use it to check setup on the swage station on the dillon and random checks . Burstfire wasn't around when I bought mine
Why not just look at the primer and see if it is crimped or not?
I've got the Ballistic Tools gauges. No complaints from me on them.
This. I believe these go nogo gauges were designed for match shooters for when they are trying to remove all variables. Not for people digging assorted cases out of a range trashcan (like I have been known to do).Originally Posted by ioon44
I have the Ballistic gauges both large & small, work great for me. Get your self a Dillon Super Swage 600 and you won't have to worry about crushing primers. You can set it up with a rubber band to eject the cases making it faster. Check on You Tube for videos on how to do it.

thanks. What material is the Ballistic gauge made of?

I have been using the Ballistic Tools gauges. I ran into some issues with Winchester primers a while back as can be read about in this thread: https://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...sipator-barrel
I ordered the gauge to see if it was in fact an issue. Turns out it was the primers.... Very happy with the product so far.
