correct - black powder often takes the blame for the damage the corrosive primers did- many guns from the 20th century that never saw BP show pits-
all due to the primers
I have a Manson gauge - certainly not the quality of the Hosford - and not the price- it took practice - but i can get repeatable measurements - the biggest drawback is the tip is round and will not go in a pit
i have wondered if replacing it with a 60 degree tip as I use for bamboo planning forms would do it
