From what I can tell, go no-go gauges fit families of cartridges. Do you use the same set of gauges for .243 Win, 260 Rem, .308 Win?

My manual shows specs for the bottom of the shoulder as exactly the same but the top of the shoulder has a different length for each.
 
Re: Go gauge question

You can use the same gauge for multiple calibers, but I think what many like is to have a go-gauge made at the same time and by the same person making the chamber reamer, then you know it is dead on.
