[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 393163, member: 9964"] If you don't use both a go and no go gauge every chamber you headspace is a "wildcat". Yes, it may work just fine. The one time when it does not and you have a case rupture and someone gets hurt or killed the first question you will be asked is who headspaced this rifle. The second question you will be asked is if you have liability insurance. I don't know of any licensed, and insured Gunsmith or Manufacture who does not use both a go and no-go "steel gauges. One of the first questions in every liability insurance application is weather you have ever chambered and headspaced any rifles. It has a second part that asked if you used "steel Go and No-Go Gauges". Saving $35.00 not buying and using a no-go gauge may cost you your entire lifes savings. The possibility of hurting a love one, friend or customer is is not worth cutting corners. There is a reason we use two gauges it makes the Chamber SAAMI or CIP spec. If one uses both the Go and No Go steel gauges you have followed the industy standard. There is no room for error. Anyone who suggest other than the standard could be considered contributory neglegent by a civil jury. It is easier to do it right from the get go. I am quite confident Len (the site owner/moderator) would want the information on this sight to be as safe and accurate as possible. Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
