[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2807305, member: 10755"] I chamber my own barrels and cut threads etc…I use .002” to set my headspace. I have a few chambers that are too short for the dies to bump enough, they each have their own shell holder with .010” turned off the top so that I can bump .001” and have minimum headspace, but I don’t actually recommend this on anything but a comp high precision rifle in custom form. Brass gets larger each time it’s fired and you run the risk of having hard chambering if steps aren’t taken to prevent this. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
