For measuring the brass?

That gauge you showed just measures headspace like what I posted but yours gives a rough estimate and you need better information to set your dies than a rough estimate.
The drop in case gauges are fine for pew pew pew ammo that you don’t care about.
I use one for my bulk 223 that I’ll never try to reload those cases again.
