[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 863204, member: 9215"] SAAMI Specs are for manufactors and gunsmiths, one of the reasons for handloading is to custom make ammo that works best in our own rig. Headspace, as such, is easily compensated for if the handloader knows what he's doing. Setting your rifle's chamber headspace at or shorter than "minimum" won't affect safety but it may prevent proper chambering of your ammo. Headspace has nothing to do with OAL/seating depth. Seating 2.5 thou under standard OAL is meaningless and SAAMI only sets the max cartridge length and that's mostly for magazines and feeding anyway, a freebored throat can easily be much longer than minimum.
