223 headspace gauge

In a pinch can you use a 223 go gauge for a 6x47L.
Isn't the 223 a 6x45
On the forester sight they show I think it was a 224 6x47 as the same gauge if the 223 is .00078 shorter shouldn't that work with a .001 shim

I advise you to consult a reloading manual or, a book of chamber drawings. You are confused.

Yes I just don't have one at work and thought this could be quick. Can you give any info on this?

Thanks
I was looking on ebay at headspace gauges and saw one listed as a 223. 6x45 field gauge and started thinking am I missing something maybe I should ask if anyone knows the shoulder angle of the 223 and the 224

I was confused
I haven't worked with the 223 so I forgot the cartridge size.
And it makes sense why I was thinking what the heck when I was looking at forester Web site order guide for headspace gauges.
