[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 204498, member: 2736"] Relabbe One more comment on head space. .008 is the field gauge max (If it will close on this gauge then it is rejected and considered not usable). If you want good brass life you need to be under ,003 head space. The reason for more .004'' is for better feeding in gas guns (M14,M16 etc) with no intent of reloading the brass. From an accurace standpoint "less is better". on the big weatherbys with lots of freebore .000" headspace works the best for me, But it requires careful sizing and reloading. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
