Neuses in Arlington, IL makes a spring gauge that you can use. I don't have further information on the company, but I seem to remember that they have one that can measure in the 10-60g range. It may not be the most accurate measurement, but it should get you in the ballpark. If you're on a budget, you can always use Kent Webb's method of measuring DW/UW with nickels (5g), pennies (3g), and dimes (2g). I hope this helps.
