Anybody have any idea where I could get case length gage for the 360DW and the 357max.?

Lee will make you one for $19, but I'd just cut down or shim an existing gage. A few small washers on the threaded stud of a 357mag gage would work for the 360DW and a 35 Remington gage may work if cut down for the Maxi.

I ordered a DW at 1.39" from LEE last week and they said it would be 6-8 weeks before it would ship. That Project is on hold till then. I tried to shim it Tim but couldn't get exactly what I wanted so I just ordered one.

Use washers to get it close but a little long, then trim the skinny end with a dremel until it trims to the correct length.

Didn't think about trimming it like that. Great Idea. I may have to trim a little more anyway to fit like I want. I can stretch the bullet out but the chamber wants a smaller case. Thanks as usual Tim.
