What do you use to verify headspace on your .357sig reloads? Should I get an LE Wilson case gauge from Dillon, Hornady headspace gage, just use the chamber in the barrel to assure fitment?

I've read the Hornady headspace gage can give varying reading and is made of soft aluminum that distorts over time.

LOL, yeah "fitment" is a real word.....just don't know if its proper reloading terminology.:whistling:

I was watching the video below which made me think I should use something to insure proper headspace. I figure I would ask here before I go blow money on something I may not need. I am planning on using Lee dies for now and using the reloads in Glock barrels.
