I feel a dwell meter is a must for setting used points. Used points develop pits on their mating surfaces. That's where the spark jumps. You can't measure between the pits with a feeler gauge. The gap you think you have measured correctly with the feeler gauge is actually larger.
Honestly, I don't even get a feeler gauge anywhere near points any more. I gap them by eye, start the bike, and attach the dwell meter.
