Default Hornady Lock and Load Headspace Gauge Kit

In Feb. mag there was an article on this subject. I thought I should buy one.
I went to Cabelas site and they have them. One review on this article said they were of bad quality. The aluminum inserts would roll over after a couple of cases.
HAS ANYBODY ELSE USED THESE WITH ANY SUCESS??

don,t waste your money on that. fireform all your brass,then simply necksize.you can necksize with your full length sizing die by lifting it off the shellholder approx. .060 on the downstroke. run a case in and see how far down the neck it is resizing . then simply turn die down until you leave approximately 1/16 in above case shoulder unsized.if case does not chamber in rifle with just necksizing then keep turning sizing die down in small increments and sizing and you will bump shoulder back enough to chamber. what you want is the cartridge to chamber with a slight feel on the end of the bolt stroke .
