[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 126355, member: 7"] [b]Re: \'Flattened\' primer pictures?[/b] [ QUOTE ] Catshooter, .025" of excess headspace is going to give far greater problems than flat primers. I strongly urge anyone that has a rifle, with more than .004" of headspace, to avoid shooting it. [/ QUOTE ] Doc... 0.004" means that statistically, 80% to 90% of rifles out here are un-shootable. That's an unachievable standard for mass produced rifles and ammunition. Do you think all of your rifles meet that same 0.004" standard with new brass?? Put three pieces of scotch tape across a new case head (0.006"), and chamber a round - if the bolt closes without force, and doesn't tear the tape, then throw the rifle away, or take it to a gunsmith, cuz by your definition, it is dangerous and has too much head space to shoot! If you do take it to a reputable gunsmith, be prepaired to be laughed at. . [/QUOTE]
