[QUOTE="woods, post: 383109, member: 6042"] Hey Doug Yes the Hornady will work. I have a complete set and load for 22-250 through 375 Ruger with a 280AI in there in the middle. The place where the gauge hits on the shoulder is not important because the measurement is only relative to the other measurement. IOW it would not matter if you got a measurement on new cases of 1.575" on the 22-250AI or if you got a measurement of 1.585" because your measurements on the fired cases would expand the same amount. For example new case 1.575" - once fired 1.590" = .015" headspace or new case 1.585" - once fired 1.600" = .015" headspace See the difference which is the actual headspace or could be the amount the shoulder moved on the first firing is what matters, and that will be the same no matter where on the shoulder the gauge hits.
