[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 204408, member: 2736"] My recomendation would be to buy a GO headspace gauge for that round and use the shims on the back of the go gauge to find the exact head space. They are very cheep (Normaly $30 to $40 dollars.Brownells sells Manson or Clymer.Mansons are a little cheeper and are just as good. I like .000 to.001'' but .002 to .003 will work. Factory Loaded ammo is sized on the small side to work in all weapons and if you use factory ammo to head space it will be smaller than SAAMI spec. And if you are .001 or .002'' less than you want then lapping the bolt is a good way to increase headspace. Better safe than sorry J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
