[QUOTE="Chas1, post: 1010461, member: 15738"] Thanks for responding Edd. Makes sense, otherwise the case good be pushed into the resizing die by hand with about the same amount of energy as pushing the fired case back into the chamber. Don't know why I couldn't arrive at that conclusion on my own. I guess when I went looking for some sort of tool to measure headspace for a 338 Allen Xpress and saw that the only tools (go, no-go gauges etc.) were only available for factory cartridges I then got it in my head that maybe headspace isn't an issue for wildcat cartridges and that's must be cause the same reamer is used on chamber and die. So given the fact that headspace is relevant then what tool or method are folks using when their cartridge is a wildcat? [/QUOTE]
