Do I need both a .308 case gage and a cartridge gage? Or can I get a cartridge gage, check after resizing to verify trim length, then use the same gage for COL after seating the bullet?
These are the gages I'm looking at:

A simple set of calipers will give you all the information you really need. I have a case gauge that a friend gave me years ago and I only used it once, it hasn't been touched since.
overall, what I am hearing is FMJ is less accurate than JHP. Correct?
That is essentially correct, for the reasons someone stated earlier.
