[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 393239, member: 13632"] Mr Lambeths advice is well taken, I may order both gauges next time, specially if I do something for some one else. Using a case is standard operating procedure on the Savagshooters forum. I chose to go with the gauge because I'm looking for a specific head spacing so it matches through to my reloading process. I started using the tape on the back as a No-go when I saw Gordy Gritters use that method in a video. I have read the No go is .004 longer than the Go so I set up for snug on .02 and no go at .003 so I'm in spec but not to tight. I found the factory head space on my 270 WSM wayyyyyyy out of spec to the tune of .009. Re-head spacing is top on my list for factory Savages now. Holy cow Fitch you put the gorilla on that torque, I believe the original factory torque is 75 ft-lbs. I go just over hand tight so I can easily remove it and swap a barrel. [/QUOTE]
