[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2807219, member: 113404"] I set up my last 3 rifles with minimum headspace, the shoulders only blow forward .002 from factory brass length. I am seeing a noticeable difference, for the good, in my groups in all rifles. Granted, two have CBI barrels, but one is a factory Savage. First time I've done this, most chambers on factory rifles give .012-015 shoulder blow. My velocities are on par with what is usual for the cartridges, so is there a downside to setting minimum chamber spec? In addition, I am also seating the bullets at slight touch of the lands, can still unchamber and no bullet movement. [/QUOTE]
