[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 420042, member: 2736"] +++++1 That's good to know Chad ! I didnt think it was the same but didn't know for sure, and I never assume anything when it comes to chambers and headspace. It worries me that a gunsmith would assume something like that, Oh Well, it's a good thing you questioned the use of the different headspace gauge. As the owner of a custom rifle everyone should be fulley aware of the chamber dimensions and the head space that the smith intends to give you and why. Some times a smith will use a reamer that will work but may not be exactly what you want just because he has one. and doesen't want to charge you for one. (Not a good reason) Get what you want even if you have to buy the reamer your self. I have rechambered many rifles with a chamber that would not work unless the shooter/owner loaded special brass, seating debths and even bullets with odd diamenters.(One had a barrel with a bore dia. of .3085). It is allways good to ask questions to be sure. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
