[QUOTE="dirtball, post: 631540, member: 7344"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]NEVER use a brass case to check headspace. New brass is undersized so it should fit in any chamber, that undersizing varies from lot to lot from the same manufacturer and varies a LOT between manufacturers. Take the gun to a gunsmith and have it checked if you are concerned, or buy a GO gage from Midway or some one else, they are about $28.00. The GO gage can be used with a piece of scotch tape as a NO GO gage, the scotch tape adds about .0025 and the bolt should NOT close.
