case length/headspace gauge question

I was thinking about purchasing a L.E. Wilson .223 Case Length Headspace Gauge and my question is this........will it work for me loading 6X45 and/or 20 Practical instead of .223?
 
Buy the Hornady cartridge case headspace gauge and you only need to buy one gauge, instead of separate Wilson type gauges.

Also you can calibrate the Hornady gauge to read true headspace.
Below a Colt Field gauge for the 5.56, 1.4736

I retired my Wilson case gauges and use the Hornady unit all the time now.

I now use the Wilson gauges for paper weights and pen holders.

I also stopped using my Wilson case gauges when I bought the Stoney Point O.A.L. gauge. Provides a lot more information than the Wilson gauges.

Put 'em in a small flat rate priority mail box and send them to me. I'll gladly pay the postage and send you some paper weights that aren't nearly so top heavy..
