[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1786146, member: 70559"] I think you need to forget that gauge. You size your case a little and check its fit in the chamber. If you do it correctly you will notice it gets a little bit harder to close the bolt. get another case. Once you get this you turn the die down no more than 1/20th of a turn down. This give you about .003". Get another case. You continue to size a different case and turn the die down until the bolt closes the same as if there was no case in the chamber. Use another case. If you like a tighter headspace turn the die back out about 1/40th of a turn. This will back it out about .0015". Annealing is a good idea prior to doing the above. With all that said, I measure every case I size before I size the next case. What a hypocrite[SIZE=5]![/SIZE] Right? [/QUOTE]
