[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 910575, member: 39801"] I think resistance in the chamber is a poor predictor of what you are trying to determine (correct amount of sizing/headspace). A case with no resistance could have the shoulder bumped 1thou, or much more. It is possible for a case to expand near the head and give the feel of resistance, even with excessive headspace. This is especially true if brass was fired in a different rifle. I am a strong believer in measuring for headspace. It is pretty inexpensive in the scheme of things and is a good thing to know when you are essentially making your own mini controlled-explosions. BulletBumper's advice is a reasonable interim step to ensure you are not over-sizing, but nothing beats actually measuring and knowing for sure. My 2C Brandon [/QUOTE]
