As my readers know, I do a lot of 9mm reloading to keep myself (and my son) shooting. It’s not quite the absurd levels that some competitive shooters do, but I can easily load 10k a year. One thing I’ve made a practice of doing is gauging every single round I load. This avoids a number of potential issues, and perhaps more to the point, gives me faith that the rounds I put in the gun will work every time.

Gauging rounds manually is slow. In fact, it’s about as slow as loading them in the first place. The Armanov Quick Loader fits on top of the Armanov “hundo-style” gauge to help get rounds in there more quickly. Does it work? Read on.
