New Case Gage Depth Micrometer from L.E. Wilson
Here is an interesting new measuring device from L.E. Wilson, makers of precision hand dies, case trimmers, and other precision tools. This new Case Gage Depth Micrometer measures shoulder “bump”, so you can determine your headspace both before and after Full-Length sizing. With this Depth Micrometer, you can ascertain exactly how much your FL-sizing die is pushing back the shoulder during the sizing process. While you can measure shoulder setback with comparators on calipers, this Wilson Depth Mic is much more handy. Just place your sized round in the base gage and then slip the micrometer over the top. Take a measurement before FL sizing and then, after sizing, click the micrometer top to verify the amount of shoulder set-back. The measurement is quick and repeatable — very slick.
This is one more nice product from the folks at L.E. Wilson. The $110.00 tool comes with a Gage Block and micrometer top with .001 gradations. The Depth Mic top is compatible with all other Wilson case L.E. Wilson Gages (one size works for all).

Correct me if I’m wrong but this gage, in addition to an LE Wilson Case gage will let you measure shoulder setback. It is not an all in one solution according to the Wilson website. $110.00 seems a might pricey for a shiney top to my case gage to me, just saying.
Editor: RE the $110 list price. We imagine the actual retail price will be less if purchased from Sinclair Int’l or other Wilson distributor. One micrometer top will work with other Wilson case gages you may already own.
Love Wilson`s stuff but I does seem a bit pricey.
Be nice if they bring out a 3 way cutter for there trimmer.
