I have never seen a full set of cartridge go-no/go guages offered from any manufacture.  And wow! That would be a spendy set!

Just buy what you need. You can go with a go and a piece of tape for the no go if you don't ham fist it. Manson, ptg, jgs, clymer.....they will hook you up. Do realize that a parent case gauge can cover many of its descendants.

Do you have a fired shell?  That's what I use and it seems to work fine

Might ask around on the forum if someone can mail one to you.  Saved me a bunch of money.  I have 3 in each caliber I need labled and put away for when I do barrel swaps.

My step dad is doing a build with the same cartridge so we were going in halves for the tooling.

I would not consider using a spent case as a gauge. You need a baseline. What if your original chamber was headspaced fat then you come up tight on your new barrel, which is tighter chambered......BAM, now your headspace is fatter yet. This is a dangerous practice, something savage type home gunsmiths use (no offense intended) and not a good practice to publicize.

Not saying it won't work, just that it's a dangerous practice to use a completely variable soft metal case as a gauge.

Call one of the Daves....Manson or Kiff they will set you up. Ask for a catalog too, they each have heaps of specialized tooling that you can spend your millions on.
