...I recently found out that it's no good to me; rounds that failed to plunk in my guns' barrels passed in a friend's hundo. Does anybody know of a vaguely reasonable option, price-wise, for a custom gauge based on my chamber? Does such a thing even exist at any price, or am I doomed to gauge rounds one at a time as long as I keep shooting the same guns?

It'd probably be much easier in the end to ream the chamber of your barrel. Pretty common to perform on CZ's.
No case gauge checks for OAL interference with the rifling leade, which is what your problem is. Just use the barrel when you're setting the seating depth.
What kind of gun? What bullet manufacturer/weight/profile? What OAL?
Are you familiar with the 'plunk test'?
Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Doodie Project?
What is a "Hundo" case gauge?
You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.

Sean, it allows you to case gauge a hundred rounds at a time and I think there's a way to load the rounds from it right into an ammo box.

What are you doing that causes some percentage of rounds to not chamber?

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Walther P99 and P99c (the P99 has a *slightly* tighter chamber than the P99c, so I use its barrel when checking rounds), Montana Gold JHP and CMJ, 124 grain, 1.075" for the JHPs, 1.12 for the CMJs. Yes, I'm familiar with the plunk test - as I mentioned, some rounds that won't plunk in my barrels will pass in the hundo.
Edit: I'm planning a switch to coated bullets sometime in the next few months for cost reasons anyway, so maybe that'll change things, but I'm not counting on it.

Yup, it'd be more convenient/much faster to be able to use a hundo vs plunking each round in my barrel individually.
