Primer pocket plug gauge

How many of you use a primer pocket plug gauge? Have a bunch of brass I’m sorting and know some use a plug gauge to determine brass condition.

I use one after firing to find any pockets that are too loose. After 10 reloads of Federal .308 brass, the gauge found only 3 pieces over that period of time, which I promptly threw out. Some pockets seemed a bit loose, but according to the gauge, the pockets were still good and indeed, I had no problems with seating the primers and having them perform as they should.
