[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1686506, member: 68875"] Make sure you use a decapping die to pop the primer BEFORE you try and measure headspace growth. Effort in futility if you don't. I bet your number variation really shrinks up after you pop primers and remeasure. Even with new brass, I usually only get .001-.002" variation once primers are popped. Then bump back .002" from your longest measurement when you FL size, and test fit in your rifle. [/QUOTE]
