[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 785539, member: 2736"] Not sure what you are trying to do but you can buy a go Gage from Manson or PT&G and apply shims to find out exactly how much head space your rifle has. The same procedure can be used periodically to monitor the chamber. If you buy a NO GO Gage It will only tell you when it is time to re barrel or re chamber (It is a dumb Gage ,as Bountyhunter said. also you will have to buy a go Gage to find where you are>(The Go Gage and the No Go Gage are used together). Most smiths use the go Gage only (About $30.00 and shim to find out exactly how much head space they are working with). Most No Go gage's are .007 to .009 thousandths longer than SAAME spec. and warn of trouble. Once you set the head space you should not experience bolt set back unless you are loading above maximum pressure. (IT should not change much except for normal wear). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
